22: Why do we wait until we have a terminal illness to live?
Update: 2024-02-12
Description
I have seen this narrative so many damn times: the person comes into the ER with nagging symptoms. Tests reveal the worst case scenario: cancer.
At this moment, and the several moments following, people begin to look at their lives as it flashes before their eyes. Suddenly, people are faced with all of the decisions and lifestyle they have been living. Suddenly, people realize how precious, rare, and tender being a human being really is!
We are all guilty of this at some point in our lives; we are all guilty of taking for granted our humanness and opportunity that we have to just exist. Instead, we hop on the hamster wheel of money, fame, success, proving ourselves, societal pressures, and so on as the list could go on for miles.
Learn now to look at your life and the fragility that it holds. Learn now to take control and be the driver in your life, not the passenger. Don’t wait until you or a loved one is struck with a terminal illness to realize this!
