Imagine You Have Just 3 Months to Live

Welcome back to the Aging & Spirituality podcast!
Today, we're diving deep into a question that we all ponder at some point in our lives: What truly matters? We talk a lot about potential and finding our purpose, but what does that mean? How do we uncover what truly lights our fire? Let's explore some ways to discover what's truly important to you.
Imagine if you had just three months to live. What would you do? Would you be caught up in the daily grind, or would you be chasing your passions? Chances are, the mundane stuff would fall by the wayside.
I remember a friend who was facing the end of her life. As she was about to say goodbye, she whispered, "Take time to smell the roses." In that moment, the simplicity of life's true joys became crystal clear.
So, let's ask ourselves: If today were our last, would we be doing what we're doing now?
Here are some guiding lights to help you discover your true north:
-Cherish your relationships: Our connections with others are priceless. Take time to nurture them.
-Pursue your passions: What sets your soul on fire? Do it! Remember what you loved as a kid? Those passions might still be there, waiting to be rediscovered.
-Practice gratitude: Focusing on what you have can shift your perspective and bring contentment.
-Forgive yourself and others: Let go of grudges and find peace.
-Live in the present moment: Enjoy the here and now.
- Make a difference: Leave a positive impact on the world.
-Embrace your authentic self: Be true to who you are.
-Find inner peace: Seek tranquility and harmony within.
Remember, life is a precious gift. Let's live it fully, authentically, and with purpose.
