On My Deathbed...
Over the weekend I thought about my death.
I know... kind of morbid.
But hear me out.
"The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions."
Questions like:
* If you could only do ONE thing to grow your business this week, what would it be?
That's actually one of my favorites.
ONE good question.
Instant clarity.
Back to the one about death though.
"If I died today, what would I regret not doing?"
It's a sobering thought.
But for me.
It was a wakeup call.
If I were lying on my deathbed, I would look up at my wife, smile and say...
"It's been a fun ride. We had it good."
That's the truth.
I'm a lucky gal.
But...
As I thought about it more.
There is ONE thing I would regret.
Not creating more great content.
What I love most about being an entrepreneur is creating.
Blog posts. Emails. Videos. Audio. Etc...
I love to CREATE.
As entrepreneurs, we get to create something out of nothing every single day.
That is such a privilege.
Such an honor.
But I haven't created nearly as much content as I'd like.
I haven't written enough emails. Recorded enough videos.
Or impacted enough people.
My heart is still thirsty.
So I'm committing to you right now.
To create DAILY.
Whether that be a blog post. An article on LinkedIn. A podcast. A Facebook video. Or an email.
You're going to be seeing a lot more of me.
And I hope to see a lot more of YOU.
Because your ART is important.
Every email you write is part of your legacy.
Every blog post you publish is part of your legacy.
Every Facebook LIVE video is part of your legacy.
Every podcast you record is part of your legacy.
What sort of legacy will you leave behind?
What are you creating?
Don't leave this earth until your thirst is quenched.
Cheers,

7 年Death is inevitable! everyone has to die one day, sooner or later. Love it and be ready for it.

7 年I accept it as a duration period, anywhere anytime it can be expired, and I am always ready for it, no regret! As it is biological limit or I am set for a certain time! If I don't die, the circle won't continue... There is an invisible circle of nature...my soul would transform into a different form..as long as I am breathing its my last one, as I don't have interest in after death! As Long as I am alive none I responsible for mine, and I am not for others. It may sound too cruel or rude, even to myself If I say I won't miss anything..but after death, does it mean anything? BCS after a very short period after death, you will not be missed that way! And my perspective may seem negative, but it is really positive for a life! Life is precious till you have it!!!
