I found out last night about an acquaintance's son who just died unexpectedly. Not sure the background story. All I know is he was seventeen years old.
I attended a funeral last week for a family friend. She had a long life and was eighty five. Just a few weeks ago I had a friend pass unexpectedly. He was only fifty six years old. Out of nowhere, he was gone.
In December it was my uncle who passed away at age seventy seven. While that seems young, genetically it was a very long life in our family for a male.
None of us are guaranteed anything beyond this very moment.
Will your job matter tomorrow? Maybe yes, if you are still around. Likely no, if you are gone.
Who will do your job if you are gone? Someone. Who? It doesn't matter.
Who will fill your spot in your family and circle of friends? No one.
Where will you be missed most?
If the answer is your job then examine your priorities. If by your family then focus your energy on the things that matter most.
