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.
