Many of us get caught in the trap of living like we have forever to live. However the recent and sudden passing away of my father jolted me into thinking whether I was making the best use of the time I have left.
I started to ponder on whether there were things I needed to start, stop or continue to do. I questioned whether some unimportant goals or activities had crept in, to take my attention off why I was really here or what was truly important to me. I found myself thinking, if my time were up today, would I be satisfied and proud with the way I had managed my life? What legacy would I be leaving behind? These have been the questions that have flooded my mind. Tough questions…I know but a loved one passing away has a tendency to act as a wake up call to jolt the slack out of us.
And so, in the light of this, ponder on this: If you found out you only had 6 months to live, what would you stop, start or continue to do? Is there something important to you that you keep putting off - thinking you have tomorrow? I suggest you press the pause button, get off the treadmill for a while and reflect on your life. I believe now is a good time to reprioritise things.
In closing, remember my simple rule that states, “if your life is not working out the way you want it, change the rules”. It helps to keep in mind that you are the CEO of YOUR LIFE. Take charge of it and don’t let it slip away. Life isn’t a rehearsal. It’s the real deal and you only have one shot at it. So I implore you to make the best of it.
Keep Soaring!
