Warning: Life Is Risky and Will Cause Death


Every morning that you wake up and send yourself out the door, you are marching toward a certain death.  This is truth.  For most of us we don’t know how long this march is going to be but we all share the same period at the end of the final sentence of life.  Facing the fact sucks.  It’s scary, no matter how old you are.  But it is fact, so rather than avoiding it in your mind, embrace it.  You’ve got a limited time here… so what are you going to do while you are here?  What would you do today if it were your last?  How would you interact with friends, family, and strangers if today were your last?  What would you say to the world if this day were your last?  What would you do today to make you feel most alive?  How would you appreciate the day differently?

With these answers, you now have a picture of how your life should be every day.  The things that you are holding back from doing, the ones that seem scary or risky, they only feel that way the first time.  Just do them once and it gets easier.  Build your life from this place and please do not delay.  The world is asking for you.

    Ben – more great wisdom…watch that video yet? Figure out how you got it and who sent it to you?

    So true – very good blog. Thanks for your comments on mine also, Ben.

    There will always be the 99% who sit on their laurels. But even 1% of the world can make a huge difference – after all 1% is still around 70 million people. And look at Bill gates or Mother Teresa. Even ONE person can make a huge difference to our world. They didn’t have to. They didn’t even set out to – but they did.

    So get out there and get on with it!

    Greg~ Thanks for the words! No, I still haven’t found out how the video made it here… Are you sure you didn’t sneak it in the mail to me? I have watched about half of it so far… Good stuff you’re doing there!

    Tineke~ Right on! Everyday is an opportunity to do something cool. Good to know you.
