I post a snippets of his interesting post here..
"Yesterday, I drove up to Tonopah Nevada, which is about 3 hours north of Las Vegas, for a funeral. I have only been to one other funeral in my life, and I find them an interesting ritual. When I die, I would like to have a giant party celebrating my life, with music, drinks, great food and LOTS of laughter. This funeral made me think about what I would like to leave as my “legacy.” The thing I’d like to remember most is how I helped people, and my heart. When I think about my mortality, it reminds me to love a little deeper, be more patient, try a few more adventures. I think one trap that many of us fall into is not taking into account our mortality. If we all thought we might die in the next six months, we would behave differently. I want to believe I would be more conscious of our connection to each other. I’d risk feeling stupid, or risk failure to achieve a goal. I’d love my friends and family and appreciate each and every one of them.
If you have five minutes today, think about how your life will be remembered if you died in the next six months. Are you proud of your life? What you’ve done to help others? The relationships you’ve formed? We’re not here forever folks, so live fully, live now!"
