To die would be an awfully big adventure…
Advanced Crazy Talk 323
Let’s pretend… that you have exactly 1 day left to live. What would you do with your time?
Would you spend it with loved ones? Maybe it’d be an epic celebration with friends? Would you’d feel compelled do something extreme, like skydiving? Or might you finally have the courage to approach the most beautiful person at the bar, I mean, what do you have to lose?
What if you had 1 month left to live?
Now 30 days sounds a little more reasonable. You could take a trip to Hawaii or learn to ride a motorcycle. Maybe you’d decide to go to Bulgaria on Monday. I suppose you’d have time to backpack around Europe, or maybe even travel the world if you wanted.
What if you had 1 year left to live?
A year is plenty of time to do all kinds of things. Maybe you’d think about the bigger picture and the impact you’d leave behind.
What if I told you, that somewhere between tomorrow and the end of your life, you’re going to die. What would you do it about it?
Why not do something that gives your life meaning? Why not take a chance to live the life you imagine, because after all, you only get one life, so why not make it the best life you can? Go open a flower shop, learn how to surf, or film the documentary you’ve been dreaming of. Why not make your life mean something to you. It’d be an awfully big adventure that way…
The brave will not live forever, but the cautious will not live at all.
(excerpts from “Open and Read“)
We’ll never know when life comes to an end, so instead of trying to live longer… why not live better?
