If you are handed an envelope that reveals to you the date you die, would you open it? Sometime ago I came across this conversation and it got me thinking whether that is something I would be interested in knowing. What happens when I find out I only have ten years to live? Will I do things differently? Probably not. If I learn that I have a rather short time left, I would be too unbothered to want to make any difference, after all, I’m here shorter than I expected.
Some people said they would begin to make everything count. Well, maybe. But I feel like I am already making everything and every moment count. I’m not sure I’ll make a lot of changes but maybe move with a little more intention.
One thing I’m certain won’t be doing is working harder at becoming financially stable. I will continue to do what I’m doing but I won’t be putting in more effort just because I’ll be gone in ten years. In fact, I think it makes more sense to work harder to attain all your dreams when you know you’ll have enough time to reap the fruits of your labor.
Anyways, I will not be opening the envelope. I have fought hard to become someone who is no longer obsessed with controlling the outcome of their life, I’m not about to pressure myself with truth of the unknown.
Thank you for stopping by. ❤️
