Why my TEDx Spoke so highly of death…

You’re dying.

Every day, every minute that passes, you’re moving closer towards your death.

It might not come for many years. It might be on the other side of that traffic light. That’s the scary part about our own mortality: We have no way of knowing when it will all come to an end.

Well, that’s depressing. Why think about it?

If you’re like most people, the topic of death is one you’d rather avoid. Instead we tend to walk around thinking we’ll live forever.

The problem is…we’re doing ourselves a grave disservice when we ignore (whom I call) The Angel of Death.

You see, Death is the ultimate reminder of the importance of living fully.

For many people, it is literally their ultimate reminder: the last & only event causing them to stop and appreciate this marvelous experience we call life.

I don’t want that to happen to you. I don’t want death, or that of someone close to you, to remind you rather too late, of the importance of living your life to the fullest.

Imagine if, every day upon wakening, you thought to yourself: “I am fortunate, happy and grateful to be alive. I have a precious life. What will I create today? How much fun will I have along the way? How deeply will I connect with the people around me? How can I best serve myself and them? Thank you for another day…and another opportunity to rise and shine!”

How would your days be different? What would your life be like? What would you say to your loved ones, your colleagues? How would you act around them and towards them?

When you’re able to appreciate your life day by day, moment by moment, and act upon the deeper sense of inner peace, power and purpose that appreciation and presence naturally foster, your outlook and perspectives will shift for the better. Your relationships will strengthen and your business will prosper.

I want to help you make that your reality.

That’s Why I Gave This TEDx Talk

When I took the stage at TEDxPuntaPaitilla in Panama, where the theme for the day was “Connection and Collaboration”, the audience probably wasn’t expecting me to speak so highly…
