You want to change your life completely?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brace yourself. It\u2019s about to get real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Write down the year that you were born on a piece of paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example: 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, write down a dash after the year like this: 1980 \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, add 80 to the year that you were born and put it after the dash like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
19 8 0 \u2013 2 0 6 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you see on that piece of paper or screen in front of you is roughly the average lifespan of someone existing<\/em> in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I write existing because that\u2019s what most are doing, simply existing instead of living<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sure, you may live longer. Or, you may kick the bucket sooner. Regardless, this makes things crystal clear. You are going to die. Now you have a rough idea of when that could happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How does seeing what could be your life span make you feel? Anxious? Fearful? Do you want to take shots of tequila?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The time we live is the dash, that short dash, between when we\u2019re born and when we die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you truly accept that this thing called life is not forever, you start to make decisions that can change your life completely. Sometimes even overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is how to completely change your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My hope is that after taking a few deep breaths, seeing these dates in black and white will provide you with more clarity and acceptance that your ride isn\u2019t forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That it\u2019ll serve as a reminder to start living a life worth living. You have a say in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
