Do you have a plan for how you want to die?
Do you plan on eventually having a death plan?
Does the thought of dying scare you?
Does the thought of dying make you live more intentionally yesterday, today and tomorrow?
Questions like these have helped me think more intentionally about the gift of life and how precious each day is, if we only have eyes to see.

In 2009, i began a 10-year journey to live as though June 8, 2019 (60th bday) is my last day.
i read about half of a long article yesterday. Here is my summary:
Rather than contemplating the stereotypical “What if you only had 6 months to live”, or the article’s reflection on a 9-month course with the same question, but with 3 extra months, i began over 7 years ago living as if i only had 10 years.
A complete and radical departure from “you have less than a year to live.”
Ten left.
What if you only had 10 years left?
A decade.
Everything i’ve done since 2009 has emanated from, “What if i only had until my 60th birthday to do everything in life i wanted to do?
The caveat being, none of us know if we’ll see tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, etc.
Now, with 2 years 8 months until the “dead” line, an enhanced sense of urgency is emerging.
There is potential ridicule and talk behind my back, to which i am working diligently to surrender to and designate a non-issue.
Meanwhile, my enjoyment of that which is in front of me this very moment (typing this for example) brings such great joy, and peace.

Live like you mean it.
What inspires you?
Focus on that.
Please.
Don’t wait until tomorrow to get to it.
Waiting becomes a habit, and then we never do.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
Note: This post was written before sunrise January 1, 2016..
Good morning 2016, i’m dying.
Did he just say that?
Yep.
i’m dying.
Here’s the thing, we are all dying.
Few of us are preparing for it.
In 2008-2009, i started to ask myself, “Why?”
The buzz that many had last night from alcohol pales in comparison to the buzz i get from living without regret, living with peace and contentment, living with constant gratitude.
Lived with the first (alcohol) for about 28 years. Living with the second (no alcohol) for 15 years now.
Yes, this is an expert opinion.
