By: Thérèse Buckingham, NBC-HWC Let’s start with a true story. About four years ago I walked behind a lady who moved with considerable difficulty down the aisle of an airplane. When we reached the door she very slowly turned around and as she carefully lowered herself into the waiting wheelchair she looked up at me and with a deep sigh said, “Don’t get old. Die young.”
This hit me like a ton of bricks. It definitely wasn’t the advice I wanted to hear. After all, I had been telling people that I was going to live to 100! However, in hindsight, I realize now that her unsolicited advice had a great deal of value. It got me thinking about the future of my health. She made me realize that I don’t just want a long life, I want a long life full of vitality. This then became the theme for my health story. On scale of 1-10 what number would you give yourself when it comes to struggling with feeling like good enough never is?
This “simple” quote can apply in so many areas of your life. Maybe you’re fully aware that nothing ever seems good enough or maybe this concept sneaks up on you from time to time without you even noticing. Have you ever been working non-stop, working so hard to get or stay ahead... then you get your kids' artwork and realize you could learn a thing or two from them about priorities? This seems to happen far too often. I think it's time to take note and take inventory.
This week we celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s an opportunity for us to slow down and a chance to be intentional, thankful, and grateful for all the good we have in our lives.
