My Mentor, Coach
and Buddy Joe Schroeder..
sends me these cool mind shifting
e-mails from time to time..
Today I woke to this one..
END of LIFE is coming (yes, we all graduate
school house earth)
and I am acting like I have ONLY a few weeks left
Funny how most people let
patience INTERRUPT their bliss
what if you acted like you
had ONLY six months left
what if you were LESS patient
and acted like TIME was short
what people would you then leave?
what lifestyle would you abandon?
what WORDS would all of a sudden
be used, like “thank you” maybe more
what people would you LOVE
more and love more often
if
You lived like you were leaving
if
You were less patient
what customers would you
GO back to and remind them
how MUCH they impacted you
what FLOWERS would you all of a sudden
take MORE time to look at
if
You only had a few months left
what, if this was true,
what would change OVER NIGHT
for you if you learned
you ONLY had six months left
is patience INTERRUPTING your treasure
whose OPINION of you
would NO longer matter
what silly MONEY angle would
all of a sudden appear rude to you
what loud, greed filled people would you
all of a sudden lose a TASTE for
if
YOU only had six months left
why do we change and change fast,
upon end of life and UNTIL then
act like we own the
clock and we have forever?
I live like I am dying
I act like I have only ten tomorrows left
it’s only one DRIVE down
highway # 34 and you crack up and die
It’s only one trip to the doctor
and oops, “game is over.”
we never know
therefore you
DREAM like you will NEVER die and you LIVE a life
of legendary proportion to
SECURE your own infamy and legend
MOM THERESA did that
MARTIN LUTHER KING lived like that
You can too
YOU DREAM INTO eternity
YOU live like you are DYING
YOU act like there are ONLY a few FRIDAYS left
and you BRING everyone ON your blissful trip to
somewhere called FEELS GOOD
all of a sudden you walk
around BEAMING ear to shining ear
all of a sudden you are
HAPPIER because you
KNOW you are LOVE CHILD
now you CAN predict the future
Because you KNOW time is
RUNNING out and you are happier
BECAUSE you spend the
REST of your days on this plane
PREPARING everyone else to PART from you
YOU bless and heal and love
everyone and prepare them
for your trip into eternity
It’s called living a life that never has to die
It’s called a life that never has to end
It’s called FEELS DARN GOOD
It’s called PREPARE everyone and set them UP
for when you are no longer around
It’s called life is short
It’s called LOVE others
IN SPITE of how they feel about you
It’ called be an evangelist
and LOVE others FIRST
make people and make more life
THAT is to be rich
everything else is just a
TICK on the expense sheet
xoxo
see you on the other side
