Death – A wakeup call

The transition to the last phase of our life, our Third Act, brings our mortality into sharp focus. Given the busyness of life today there seems to be little time for reflection, let alone talk about death. It seems as if we run from it. Failing to see that if we don’t give it consideration, we miss an opportunity of its potential to bring focus to our life: becoming more mindful and conscious of the gift of each day.

Death is the ever-present shadow in our lives. A wise person will totally embrace that death is inevitable. Death actually gives us a wakeup call. In doing so, it presents us with the challenge to live life fully and live to our highest potential.

So, what if you were told you only had one month left to live? Would your priorities and activities change? What would you be doing?

Maybe develop the wise person in you. Treat each day as if it was going to be the last. By adopting this approach and mindset, awareness enables us to live life to our highest potential every moment of each day.

Every moment matters. Start today and make changes to how you live your life. Commit to living every moment and let nothing stop you.
