87 - Death and tattoos

Your Life Designed Podcast - Learn, Grow, Develop and Design Your Life - With Laura Carrocci

On Monday a friend died unexpectedly. He was young, healthy, fit. He was engaged at work, loved by others, a fantastic father and friend. Now he is dead. In a moment, without warning, he left us. I share this because I think it is important we don’t rush past these moments of pain that we all experience at times, or see others experiencing. In a moment we are dead. One day alive. The next dead. What will you leave behind? If you were to die today would you be happy with how you lived? I got a tattoo this week too. Long planned having made the decision some time ago, but this week felt so right for it having received this sad news. A mountain range that to me represents my family and the wilderness that I love. Strong, wild, beautiful and free. A snowflake. Precious, beautiful, here only for a moment before it melts. A reminder that life is to be lived fully. My friend's life was short. But he lived it fully alive. He was kind, warm, loving. He was generous. He was a fantastic father. He made a difference in the lives of those he knew and served in his work. He didn’t appear in the headlines, there are no books written about him, no order of Australia medals. But his live had meaning. It had joy. It mattered. So does yours, my friend. Please don’t forget that. Life is precious. You are precious. It all goes quickly. So please. If your instagram makes you feel shit please delete it. If your Facebook robs you of time with those you love delete it. If you want to feel healthier, take action today. If you love them, tell them you do, today. If you don’t need it, don’t buy it. If you feel stressed about June 30, remember you could die on June 29. Life is bloody precious. Go do what you love, with people you love. Design a life you love. Make today count. And hug your babies tight. If you are ready to put all your podcast listening into action you have to check out my coaching program.
