I do deliveries for a lady named Jodi who is a florist and I hadn’t heard from her in over a week so I called in to see her.
She said it’s been really quiet and that she had just got back from a funeral. Naturally I asked her who died and she explained that it was an old workmate of hers.
She went on to tell me that her friend had been diagnosed with cancer just over 3 weeks ago, she was admitted to hospital and before anyone had time to go and visit her she was gone.
We hear stories like this all the time and the usual things come to mind for me ie;
- Wow, reality check
- Appreciate every moment
- Is this a sign?
It’s probably all of the above but I find myself thinking – do we really need to be told these sorts of things or experience them in order to action all the things we want to do before we die?
What’s it going to take for us to follow through on the things we want to achieve before our time runs out? Who will lead the way and inspire others to do the same? Me?
So today actually right now I’ve decided to make a commitment to actioning all the things I want to achieve as if everyday were my last day alive. I know we hear that all the time but who lives that way? I’m putting my hand up.
So what does this mean? I will blog EVERY SINGLE DAY regardless of how much or how little I achieve to hold myself accountable for doing the things I am passionate about. To inspire you to find what it is you’re passionate about and make it count!
