00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			What if today was all you had?
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			What if this week was your last week?
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			What if this month
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			was your final month?
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			How would you live?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			What would you do?
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			Where would you
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			go? Who would you speak to and how?
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			What would you start doing?
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			What would you stop doing?
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			What would you do more of?
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			What would you do less of?
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			There's a Latin saying that has inspired me
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			ever since I was a teenager,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			and it is called
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			carpe diem,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			and it means
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			seize the day.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			Our dean teaches
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			us to,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			to seize the day.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			It was Ali ibn Abi Talib who said,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			if you do not live to see the
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			morning
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			sorry. If you live to see the morning,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			do not expect and I have to do
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			that again. Oh, man.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			Don't. That was a good one as well.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			Not.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			No.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			Here Here
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:10
			we are.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			Our dean teaches us to carpe diem
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			because none of us is guaranteed
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			even one day more than we already have.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			And so if that's the case,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			I think we should all be making a
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			decision to live
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:26
			more mindfully,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			more present,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			more intentional
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			because we don't know
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			if this is our last day, our final
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:35
			week,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			the last month.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			And
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			when you live with the awareness
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:43
			that
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			next year isn't
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			granted to you, next week isn't guaranteed,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			you are then able to show up
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			more fully,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			show up
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			much more meaningfully and purposefully.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			Make these days count.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			Make this week count.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			Make this month count
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			as if it was your last
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			so that you can really show up as
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			the
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			hero
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			of your life story.
