What do you plan to do with your wild and precious life? asks Jay Shetty. He adopts a learn, launch and love approach to his yearly goals as well as what to eat tonight.
For his goals, he suggests learning something new, launching a project into the world and enjoy loving something important.
For me, on the 4th year anniversary of being in a coma, I am very moved today. In fact I am very humbled as well as a bit shaken by the thought that I nearly didn’t make it.
And that’s the point. I did make it. In ways I would never have imagined. My life has completely changed. I can rest on how it was or I can embrace the changes. Thinking about how I touched the other side but didn’t stay, getting divorced, losing the ability to use my right side, no longer working at my dream job and many other incidents during the last 4 years only serves to keep me in my quagmire of depression. And that is not me!
I only think about how my life has been enriched and how I am on a wonderful engaging new journey that is inspiring me to help others in the best way I know how. And that’s with my personality and marketing skill set.
I am a positive person who embraces the here and now of life and what it is. A beautiful moment of sunshine and love. So I see life through my rose tinted glasses and that’s ok. There is hope, belief, colours, and sunshine, even on a rainy April morning. My glass is half full and I love it. Life is not perfect. Far from it. It’s not meant to be. We are human after all. But it can be appreciated for what it is. I look outside and I don’t see 1970s buildings and cloudy skies and falling rain. I see bright glistening green leaves on magnificent tall trees, I feel the freshness of the spring air and I can smell the perfume wafting up and emanating from the plethora of multi coloured bright flowers. I feel the the smile on my face and warmth in my heart and all is well in my world.
I am learning every day how to prioritise my developement. I am certainly moving in the direction I want to and wanting to make a difference to the lives of those less fortunate than me. I have plans and we are on the journey to realise them. An exciting journey!
Happy Anniversary Mike ❤️
