Hello internet people. It has been a while since I’ve shared with you. I need to write more than I have been as I use it to get thoughts out of my head. Right now I would like to share the way I think about days. You see you only have so many days in your life. I understood this at a very early age and decided to live my life accordingly. I was having tea with my Grandfather when I was 15. He was 80ish at this time and made the comment how he remembered being 15 like me, but then one day he woke up and was 80. His voice trailed off as he said it and I understood at that exact moment how quickly life passes by. I knew that I didn’t want to waste any days.
We all have no knowledge of what the future holds. Will you live to be 80?? Will you die tomorrow in a car accident?? We all hope not, but either way we all die sometime which means you only have a set amount of days left. What will you do with them??? Let’s use some easy numbers to drive my point home. 10,000 days is equal to around 27 years which puts me at 68 years old. Still young to some and super old to others. Okay now we have our days.
I want to ask a couple questions with the first being what did you do the last 10 days?? Did you work towards your goals??? Do you have goals?? Remember we only have 10,000 days to get it all done. How many days did you lay on the couch all day?? How many did you chalk up to being a “bad day”?? Was it 2, 3, or maybe 5?? Let’s say 3 days fall into the couch/bad day category. That is 30% or 3,000 of your remaining days. Fuck. I know, it is crazy when you think of it like that.
There is work also as most of us are not trust fund babies. We work on average 260 days a year. This on our 27 year plan is about 7,000 days. So between bad days, couch days, and work days we just pissed away our entire 10,000 days. That sucks. So for the heck of it lets say you only work 4 days a week so we gain back 1,000 days. How many of those days are you willing to piss away feeling sorry for yourself, wishing the past was different instead of concentrating on making the future awesome, and holding grudges that mean nothing instead of enjoying the people around you???
Maybe you want to spend your days being a victim, I’m a girl, I have a disability, I’m the wrong color, my sexuality holds me back, or some other BS that gets wrapped up in our heads. I’m not saying those things aren’t real or even a problem, but allowing those things to dictate how we live our lives is bullshit. Never let the stupidity or ignorance of others change your goals or how you enjoy life. You only get so many days don’t give ANY to people that don’t deserve them.
What do you want to go see?? What do you want to learn?? Who would you like to meet?? These are the questions you should ask yourself every morning. I personally am not willing to trade any days whining and complaining about things I can’t change. It isn’t worth it. One day God willing I will wake up and be 80. My first thought on that day needs to be “I’m sure glad I didn’t waste any days”…
Think about it.
