I am sure many wise guys have asked you this question to tease out your value in life. What if the 5 months to live is real? What if the idea of death is no longer just conceptual but quite a real possibility.
From the time Darrell my late husband was diagnosed to the point he left for a life of ease was 5 months…
When I picked up my life and continue my journey, this question keeps ringing in my head. If I had only 5 months left, how would I spend my time? Who do I choose to have around me? What choices will I make regarding my finances?
My loved ones were the first to flash in my head. Living a life that brings light to the world is the next thought.
Death is no longer conceptual to me, it is real. The push to do things and be with people that really matters hit home.
Whilst I do not wish it upon anyone to have to face this dark reality, but in a country where 12 new cases of cancer is found everyday and 24 people dying from this dis-ease is a publicized data, this morbid idea is no longer that remote.
What will you do if you have exactly 150 days left on this earth, 150 days more to breathe, what do you envisage yourself doing? What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
Don’t wait, start now.
