Living at the speed of light

The thought of death can for a moment breathe more life into us. Society is organized to make death more evasive than ether. We seldom talk about it unless we lose a love one or experience a very narrow escape. People don’t go shopping for coffins, cemetery plots or incinerator services. However, at the back of our mind we know that death is inevitable, our days are numbered, and time sinks fast in the ocean of life. Do you ever wonder how many years or days you have left? Truth is your heart could stop before you finished reading this blog.

How much longer do you have left?

So do not wait for the perfect moment to start a new venture, enter new waters or stake everything on a single throw. Enter unchartered territories and no man’s land. When your back is against the wall and you know you cannot afford to lose. You won’t!  This can be anything from picking up a new skills or moving to another country to reconnecting with friends and family or just doing things you truly enjoy. Birth, school, work, career, marriage, children and it’s over.  It’s important to die without regrets.

It’s a good thing you still alive … go ahead live at the speed of light ... 

The Lebron James Story ... And why Legacy is greater than currency...

Black Coffin, priest, family members and old friends, red roses, tears of sorrow… How will they remember you?

We all would like to reach a point in our life where currency does not matter, where we have the ability to choose the path we want, and build a legacy. Those who say time is money are in the wrong when we put aside the zeros and the hours… 

Time is not money; it is what you make of it.

I believe Lebron James is at a point in his basketball career where money does not matter. He also paid his dues with the Cleveland team by single handedly increasing the value of the franchise by an extra 200 millions dollars.  He made the right move by living his old team and going to the Miami Heat to join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.  Who wants to be the best player in the league with no ring? A king with no Crown…  Some people said Lebron was a traitor for living “home” and his teammates. Others took it further by saying that Cleveland made Lebron who he is today. Remember, people will always try to destroy you after you have been good to them. I wonder why is it that when an owner cuts a player it’s considered business as usual and when a player decides to go in a team where he has a better shot at winning he becomes the black sheep.

Each day, you build your legacy and when you leave people remember whom you were, at school, in college, at work, as a parent, a friend or even an enemy.

 See, you are who you are in this world and long after you're gone your legacy good or bad lives on...
