There is Urgency...

Welcome to my blog – There Is Urgency… Do you know what I mean by that statement? Well, let me share the very deep meaning with you. I find it amazing how 99.9% of the people I meet are busy going through life believing that they are immortal and will live forever! What I mean is that they are oblivious to the fact that one day they will die, and that they can fairly certainly know with 99.9% accurate probability the date by which they will no longer be alive. It’s really simple math -- by simply adding the number 100 to the Year you were born you can determine the exact day and date by which you will most likely no longer be here!

Try it and see how you react to the answer. Let’s say you were born on July 2nd, 1942. Adding 100 to the year 1942 results in 2042. (you can click this link… http://www.searchforancestors.com/utility/dayofweek.html to find the exact day of the week for this date. Now if we simply subtract 2009 from 2042 the number of years that you have to live which is greater than or equal to the 99.9% probability of your death! Contrary to popular opinion, this is not bad news, it is good news!

Now what makes this exercise even more interesting is to reflect on all of the family members that have already died. How old was the oldest one at death? 82, 87, 90? Are you gaining more insight here? This brief history lesson should help focus your thinking, and increase your own sense of urgency…

Let’s take this whole thing one step further. To get the clearest picture of what this all means, use the following calculation…

Birth Year: ____________
Plus: ______100___
Approx Death
Year: ____________
Less This Year: _____2009___
Approx Yrs
Left 2 Live: ____________
Less Retirement
Discount: _______35___
Years Left
to Work: ____________
Plus Current
year: ____________
Retirement
Year ____________


When you put your life in this context (defining your ERA – the dates on the perpetual time line of the world during which you are “checked in” to life), the end result will help you understand that there really is urgency…

What dreams have you put on the shelf until “someday”? Can you find the date “Someday” on the calendar? What if “someday” is actually after your 99.9% probability of “Death Day”? Then what? I’ll tell you what, you will carry your dreams to the grave with you unrealized, and you die unfulfilled!

What all this should say to you is that There Is Urgency… Urgency to accomplish your dreams, or at least die trying… urgency to start that business, build your retirement nest egg, buy that speed boat, repair that broken relationship, take that trip to the south of France… There is urgency because life waits for no one. Once it is started, there is no resetting the clock. When the game is over, it really is over, at least this part of it…

Have you seen the movie “Up” - an animated comedy adventure about a 78-year-old man who ties balloons to his house and flies away, with an 8-year-old stowaway. If you haven’t I suggest that you not miss it. It is a perfect illustration of a number of aspects of the point I am trying to make.

But you say, I don’t have time to start that company, I'm not smart enough to do it, I can’t take a month off of work for that trip, or I don’t have the money to buy that house, or whatever other excuse you can dream up to convince yourself that accomplishing your dreams really doesn’t matter as much has helping the owners the company at which you work accomplish there’s. You see, it is impossible not to accomplish dreams in life. The only question is, who’s will they be?

I call this disease - excusitus. It is the disease of the failed and frustrated billions of people who take their dreams to the grave... It kills countless brilliant ideas and plans... But it does have a cure...

So what am I saying... I am saying, if you don't make dust, you eat dust... Do you understand... If you don't get busy making life happen, it will happen to you. Tommorrow is not promised to anyone... So "carpe diem" (seize the day) and start making life happen for you... Check out my web site... www.getoutofyourbox.com for more provocation to break out of your box, and consider attending an upcoming Knowledge Expansion Session - dates and locations (including webinar sessions) will be posted on Monday, June 22nd after 9:00pm.

Well, that’s all I have time to say right now. Since this is a blog I guess it is ok if I say… to be continued……… I really do have a lot more to share with you on this and other topics. Please feel free to share this post with a friend... Help me help others escape the limiting thought frame box in which they have been trapped to begin living the life they dream to live. That is my passion, to help as many people as I can make the great escape!
