Deathbed Insights, Today

No more future plans. This is now.

‍

Today you received a terminal diagnosis.

‍

Days to weeks. Not months. Certainly not years.

[Give yourself permission to fully engage in this thought experiment. No more 5-year plan. No guarantee of next week. Each interaction could very well be your last].

What does this new information do to your current priorities? Your daily schedule? The concerns and stressors keeping you up at night? 

‍

With such a limited number of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, thoughts, and emotions left, what's actually important? 

‍

People to see? 

‍

Conversations to have? 

‍

Apologies to make?

Forgiveness to give? 

‍

Secrets to disclose? 

‍

Burdens to unburden? 

‍

Loved ones to hold a little more tightly?

‍

Today you received a terminal diagnosis. No guarantee of tomorrow. This is now.
