“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” Steve Jobs“You don’t have cancer.” Like a puzzle piece from a different puzzle, I was having trouble fitting in the referral to an oncologist with this repeated declaration from my doctor. She went on to explain the cyst she removed had a malignant tumor inside it. Then it occurred to me, we’re all alive today and we’ll all die someday. Unlike Steve Jobs who had years of awareness that his life was coming to an untimely end, I think I just assume my life will go on to a ripe old age. But should that make a difference?
Do you have goals? Do you assume you have plenty of time to accomplish your goals? What priorities will you adjust now so that you live each day with purpose and direction? Lord, I desire to be useful to the Great Commission and leave a legacy in my wake. Help me stay focused, allow myself to be creative, and cherish the beauty of this life. Amen “And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” Matthew 6:27 What are your thoughts? Libby
