There are things in life that happen by accident. Some situations you're not sure how you got there, and you're simply going with the flow.
Other things in life happen by intention.
Jesus is telling the questioner that salvation belongs in the latter category. We can't passively sit back and do nothing. Take urgency, Jesus is telling us. If we opt to sit on our heels and wait, there may be a time when it is too late. It's always easier to wait, to see how the dust settles. Jesus says we ought to act now, with direction and intention, and pursue life with God.
