If you were told you have five years to live, what would you do differently?
I spent 7 years working at Cancer Council as a GM. In that time I heard many stories - lives being changed in an instant. One day feeling a bit unwell, the next day a terminal diagnosis. Five years left.
The problem with life today is we're so busy rushing around trying to improve our quality of life, that we forget what life is.
We forget until we're told we have five years left. It's very sobering.
⚠️ You may not want to, you'll wrestle against it because it's confronting, but please answer these questions today:
👉 What would you focus on now if you had five years left?
👉 What would you do different today?
👉 If you're not living that life, why not?
These questions might be tough, dying early is tough too. Answer them now or maybe the joy of life will pass you by. Trust me. I have seen it many times.
Take care out there and go well.
