You're Running Out Of Time - Alan Watts On Living Before You Die

You're Running Out Of Time. In this profound Alan Watts discourse, we explore the deep philosophy of living before you die. The clock isn't just ticking—it's screaming, yet most of us live as though we have an infinite supply of tomorrows. This video is a wake-up call to stop treating your life as a dress rehearsal and start existing in the only moment that truly matters: The Now.

The tragedy of modern existence is that we are constantly preparing for a life that we never actually start living. We postpone, we plan, and we strategize for a future that is always just out of reach. We have been conditioned by a system that thrives on our anxiety, selling us the lie that we must sacrifice our present for a "rainbow’s end" called success or retirement. But as Alan Watts so eloquently explains, there is no "later." There is only this moment, and this one, and the next—dissolving like water into sand if we are not present to witness them.

Why We Are Afraid to Live Most of us wake up to an alarm and immediately enter a state of performance. We perform our routines, our jobs, and even our relationships, all while a quiet voice in the back of our minds whispers that "someday" things will be different. We tell ourselves that once we have enough money, enough security, or enough status, then we will finally be happy. But that "then" is a mirage. The truth is, you have been taught to treat your life like a problem that needs solving or a project that requires completion. You are not a project; you are a happening. You are a living, breathing expression of the entire universe, and you don’t need permission to exist fully.

The Philosophy of Mortality and Presence We avoid the truth of death because it terrifies us, yet acknowledging our mortality is the only thing that gives life its beauty. A sunset is precious because it is fleeting. A conversation is sacred because it will never happen in that exact way again. When you realize that your time is finite, the trivial falls away. The opinions of others become background noise, and what truly matters becomes crystal clear. Silence and stillness remind us of our mortality, which is why we fill our lives with distractions and endless content. But in that stillness lies the freedom you’ve been seeking.

Breaking the Trance of Postponement This discourse draws from ancient wisdom traditions—from the Taoist concept of "Wu Wei" (action through non-action) to Zen mindfulness. The secret that wise people throughout history have known is that the conditions for living will never be perfectly met. There will always be one more goal to achieve or one more box to check. If you wait for the perfect conditions, you will wait forever. Life is not a journey toward a destination; life is the journey itself.

What You Will Learn in This Video:

The Illusion of Time: Why the past and future only exist as thoughts in the present.

The Trap of Success: Why those at the "top of the ladder" often feel the most empty.

Overcoming Anxiety: How to stop the mental simulation of "what comes next."

The Art of Being: Moving from the "waiting room" of life into the reality of existence.

Stop reading the manual and get on the rides. You aren't running out of time; you are time. You are the awareness in which all time appears and disappears. Wake up from the trance. The only time to be alive is right now.
