Life is Precious

     Yesterday in my post, I said that one of the biggest lessons I learned in 2020 was “Life is Precious.” I thought I would elaborate a little more on this today by explaining how this lesson was cemented in my mind. The obvious examples based on everything else I said in that post would be losing my grandma and/or dad, and although those definitely increased the intensity of me learning this lesson, the moment this lesson came to life for me was actually a completely different event entirely.

    During the lockdown period I was staying at my parents house in Marion. I spent a lot of my freetime taking long walks. I have always loved long walks as it gives me time to reflect, listen to podcasts, think to myself. On one particular hot day, my family and I were out fishing all day and then came home and ate dinner. I did not have any time during the day to take one of my long walks and it was about an hour until sunset. After a little mental back and forth, I decided to take a shorter walk. After I finished the shorter path that I had planned on walking I noticed I still had about 20 minutes until the sun went down and I was enjoying my walk so after more contemplating I decided to walk a little bit further. Roughly 100 yards after making this decision, I am looking around as usual to take in my surroundings when I notice a hand sticking up in the air behind a house. I take off my headphones and I hear grumblings that sound like someone needs help. After I run around the block to get into the fenced in backyard, I end up finding an older lady laying on her deck. She told me how she came out to her porch that morning to read the bible as she does everyday and she fell through the chair and could not get up. She had been hitting her life alert button all day but it wasn't working. She said people would walk or jog by but they just couldn't see her. She told me she has diabetes and she knows when things are getting bad. She said she did not have much longer and if I didn't notice her she was certain she would not have made it through the night. 

    After watering her dogs and waiting with her until the ambulance came, I went home and completed my normal night….sort of. I couldn't help but try to imagine being in her shoes. Going about your normal day and not thinking anything of it and all of a sudden your laying on your deck in the scorching heat thinking this may be your last day on earth. She didn't wake up thinking she might die today, and I don't think anybody does. It just happens. I don't tell this story to brag or seem heroic. Honestly, I just walked by at the right time. I tell this story because this was the moment where I really felt how precious life was. To this day, I think almost everyday about how I could die. I could fall down my stairs in the morning and break my neck. I could get hit with a tree branch while walking around campus lake. There are a million scenarios in every given day. One second after reading this, you may die.

    You may see this line of thinking as bleak and depressing, but I urge you to try to think about it in a different way. The truth is that this is our reality whether we acknowledge it or not. Death always seems to feel further away than it truly is. I use this lesson as a reason to live a better happier life. Knowing that you could die any moment doesn't mean life is pointless. To me, it means you ought to make the most of every breath you take. Smile every chance you get. Be proud of who you are at the end of every day. Your life is precious. Treat it as you would a precious item. Give it the care, attention, and love it deserves. Yes, it has an expiration date, but that's the point as it incentivizes us to make the most out of life while we still have it.

“Pain is a teacher. It is information. If we step onto a nail, we have three choices: We can stop what we are doing and choose to look at the nail and to remove it; We can continue with what we are doing and pretend that nothing is hurting us, all the while drowning out the pain in whatever way is easiest; Or, we can continue forward with the nail in place, feeling as if we are a victim and allowing it to handicap us moving forward” . . . The above quote is from an article on @elephantjournal. Honestly, it’s so important that you read it more than once. Pain needs to be felt. Without pain and without learning from said pain we will never get farther ahead. I think it’s so important to remember this - especially when you may be in the middle of something devestating. This too, shall pass. You will end up stronger and more emotionally available. Trust me. But you gotta go through it. . . Why do I share this? I’m in a great place in my life but I know tons of people who may not be doing so great. So this is just a gentle reminder that it is okay to feel pain. Just make sure you look at it. Acknowledge it. Learn from it. And take out the damn nail. . . . #pain #growth #emotionalhealth #selfdiscovery #oxfordcounty #519 #ontario #nature #getoutside #emotionalintelligence #psychologicalhealth #mentalwellness #constantlearning https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3lPNkH1Az/?igshid=1xiqghnfucdyz

When you can buy multiple Lambo’s or Ferrari’s cash but simply don’t “Need” to. When I could have posted this years ago but didn’t “Want” to. Why? The “Desire” lacks as the focus is on something much greater. Needs-Wants-Desires, everybody has them it’s just what you do with them that tells a greater story of you! For some, including myself, it starts with “Delayed Gratification”. At the core, the actions speak louder than words. Don’t believe me?
