I sometimes feel we rush through life grasping to capture future happiness in exchange for the good life we already own. We chase what might or might not be for what already is. Could it be we are dying to live that beautiful life?
I recently had a hospice medical doctor on the radio show who challenges each of us to consider the possibility many of our most ?noble? desires to attain success are surreptitiously leading us right over the cliff to death.
Karen Wyatt, MD researched this notion by collecting a review of her many patients on deaths door, asking them what lessons mattered to them the most. In retrospect, what did they wish they had done or not done to live an everyday existence overflowing with peace, joy and personal fulfillment? These real life experiences were threaded together by these seven rules?and how to accomplish each on a daily basis:
1. Suffering ? embrace your difficulties.
2. Love ? let your heart be broken.
3. Forgiveness ? hold no resentments.
4. Paradise ? dwell in the present moment.
5. Purpose ? manifest your highest potential.
6. Surrender ? let go of expectations.
7. Impermanence ? face your fear.
So are you dying to live your beautiful life? Are you buying the lies of counterfeit happiness in exchange for the genuine gifts you have yet to unwrap? Is the value of your precious life worth considering a change in values and/or priorities?
