The harsh reality of death and a busy world.
Bad things happen in two major catatogies:
We expect very old people to die.
We do not expect very young people to die.
While death is difficult, it is especially difficult when it’s unexpected.
We all know this.
The best defense, and perhaps the only defense, is to live like you mean it.
To not waste a single day.
Not one.
We know this.
But do we actually do it?

What would it feel like to have three overwhelming events happen on the same day?:
All unexpected.
All powerful.
All emotional.
All reminding us of life’s beauty and life’s harsh reality.

When are we gonna finally live full on?
No more holding back on what we really want to do?
When?
Knowing we are going to die is the best incentive to start living full on – authentically.
Yes, some people will not like us for it.
And others will be cheering for us – and smiling – (and thinking, so glad she finally let go of her fear).

Sitting here in Saskatoon’s Hotel Bessborough stumbled upon this short Steve Jobs video speech.
It begs us to watch even though we don’t have time…
Peace and contentment come from one place.
Balance.
The book written for a young child contains the same message as Steve Jobs, but was written without the eminent, fast approaching reality of death.
That’s what makes the book special.
There was no pressure to write it.
None.
And the author added a little more peace and contentment to his life.
This is how it goes.
If Steve Jobs were to say there are no shortcuts, we’d all shake our heads ‘yes’.
When you hear it here instead?
Whatever! Right?
Wishing you peace and contentment immeasurable.

Dear readers, truth be told, we are all living a life we would die for.
How?
Easy.
Why?
Auto pilot mostly.
Because we are all going to die.
The default mode is a slam dunk. Guaranteed.
No effort required and we are a sure thing.
And since death is inevitable, why not up the ante?
Live for something really worth dying for?
You know, something much bigger than spending our adult lives going through the motions.
Back to the notion that life is not a dress rehearsal.
