Come Alive by Jonathan Mead
Life wastes itself while we are preparing to live. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you had one week left to live, would you still be doing what you’re doing now? In what areas of your life are you preparing to live? Take them off your To Do list and add them to a To Stop list. Resolve to only do what makes you come alive.
Bonus: How can your goals improve the present and not keep you in a perpetual “always something better” spiral?

To Stop
Using other people as a mirror.
To Do
Break the mirror and look out at the sunset.
This made me cheer. Cheer out loud to my room at quarter after eleven at night. I can hear that glass smashing.

Greetings from a rocking chair at the Charlotte airport. I am looking at a sunrise, and like Kim, I can hear that glass smashing too.

@Kim and @Roxanne--Thanks! It's like a concert of glass smashing! :)
