Life is temporary \u2013 and that is kind of a beautiful thing. I recall as a child thinking that was so intensely and overwhelmingly sad. I almost couldn\u2019t comprehend it. And now I can and I see it as a beautiful part of this experience.\n\xa0\nI think a lot of people don\u2019t think about that part of life because it\u2019s too far off or too painful to think about, and because of that we don\u2019t curate our experiences in the way we might if it was more top of mind. Meaning we spend a lot of time in the doing. The pursuing. The distractions. The stuff that doesn\u2019t matter. Often it takes a loss to see how short and temporary life is and how quickly it goes by, to put things in perspective.\n\xa0\nSo as you move through this life experience, what can we do? We can first become aware. Make it a goal \u2013 an intention\u2013 to appreciate, value, slow down, be present. Enjoy. And we can be thoughtful in the experiences we curate and the time we invest.\n\xa0\nThe goal of this episode is to allow yourself the opportunity to take stock of your priorities and the relationships that have great meaning in your life. Maybe that means changing your relationship to a parent or elder for the better. Maybe it means investing your time differently. Or simply appreciating those in your life a bit more.\n\xa0\nI\u2019d like this to be a happy and positive episode. Not a downer. Hopefully this allows you to reflect and re-enter an old relationship, anew.\n\xa0\nThis has been a request quite a few times and it\u2019s also something I have been thinking a lot about. Aging parents, losing loved ones recently. I hope you enjoy it and so so sorry for the background noise! I had to record outside because of sick kids at home.\n\xa0\nFor more of my work and to make a donation, you can head to YayWithMe.com xo\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
