Today I am 48, and if I live to the same age as the Queen, I am halfway.
Put another way; I have 2496 weeks left
Or 17520 days
Or not.
When I first thought about how few weeks I had left a few years ago, I freaked out.
I had so much I wanted to do and not enough time.
But I now feel the power of embracing the shortness of life.
I might get as long as the Queen, or I might not.
Today could be 17520 days until I depart this planet.
Or it could be one day.
I don’t know. None of us does,
Yet I was guilty of years of assuming I had forever. Therefore I could put all my dreams and goals off into the distant future.
You could hold a grudge or carry resentment because you would get over it in a few days.
But when you accept the randomness of your time left. Every day becomes a gift.
There is no point holding a grudge or allowing the news to piss you off all day.
Or putting off important things into a future that is uncertain what you could do today.
Forget the cliche.
Why not live each day as if it were your last?
How would you behave?
Would you pause and hug your loved ones with all your mind & body?
Would you feel grateful in your bones for the song of a bird?
Would you smile more, love more, and enjoy more?
So I plan to dedicate this podcast and blog to daily reflection.
There might be 17520 episodes. Or not.
Each day I will share something from my private journal that I have never really shared before.
These reflections will be deep and more philosophical.
I hope you enjoy and if you know anyone who might benefit, please share.
