Can you comprehend this?
Are you ready?
Ready for something different?Every human searches…
We all search for meaning and purpose in life. I've discovered the two most important days in every person's life...Welcome to an aggressively unfancy set of ideas.
Are you diggin' this amazing day? We can think of carpe diem as a worn out cliche or see it as a daily, moment-to-moment battle cry. Why even consider the two choices? Because life is not a dress rehearsal. If you'd like to be more in the moment and live like you mean it, everyday, then I invite you to read a brief bio below...Meet The Internet’s Only Five-A-Day Blogger
Hi, I'm jeff noel from Orlando, Florida. Every morning before my wife and son (11) wake up, I crank out five differently-themed blogs about life's big choices. Each post is short & pithy. Short because people are busy. Pithy because people need the truth. Been doing this for three years straight without missing a day. Crazy? Sure. But here's the thing - it's changed my life in unimaginable ways. Crazier still, I believe reading my blogs may do the same for you.In case you still don’t get it…I’m here to help.
I don't think, exercise, pray, work, or organize my life the way people say I should, or expect me to. And I get the kind of results that most people think aren't possible. And I'm just an ordinary guy, trying to help people (maybe you) live like they mean it!Some comic relief:
Jeff,
Simple, but profound! Like my friend who was raised in England says, “Spot on!”
Bob
Once again, Bob, you manage to make me smile – like you always do.
Spot on is right. The stereotype is that death is bad, sad and awful.
What if we thought dying was awesome instead of awful?
In order to get from awful to awesome would require a complete paradigm shift. Many people who dedicate their lives to Hospice have already made the shift.
Wonder if it’s transferable to the masses.
Jeff,
I believe a part of that paradigm shift is that there also has to be a heart shift – to a place where you believe in the afterlife. If there is no Hope, then death is probably viewed as awful and bad.
I am reminded of a radio program I heard the other day by the Christian singer Bryan Duncan. In talking about looking at the life of a loved one at his or her passing, he said, “You can either cry because it’s over, or smile because it happened.” There’s the paradigm shift again.
Bob
Well said.
It’s the life, not lived, in my opinion, that is awful.
