last August I was told
that in all likelihood I had three to six months left to live
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven
don’t want to die to get there.
And yet death is the destination we all share.
No one has ever escaped it.
We don't get this again. We don't get this again the clock runs to fast
we are going to die and that makes us
the lucky ones most people are never going to die because they're never going
to be born
the potential people who could have been here in my place
but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumbered the sand grains of
Sahara
somebody said to me in light of those numbers wow so you're really
beating the Grim Reaper we don't beat the Reaper
by living longer we beat the Reaper
by living well and living Fully
for the Reaper will come for all us
the question is what do we do between the time were born
and the time he shows up
when he shows up it's too late to do all the things
that you always wanna kinda get around to
and you will need to find your passion
many of you have already done it many of you will later
many you may take to your thirties or forties but don't give up on finding it
so your passion must come from the things that fuel you from the inside
find your passion
and follow it if there is anything I have learned in my life
you will not find that passion in things
and you will not find that passion
in money
I don't chase money because I can burn it
it is not the things we do in life that we regret
on our deathbed it is the things we do not because I assure you I've done a lot
of really stupid things
none of them bother all the mistakes
All the dopey things and all the times I was embarrassed
they don't matter
Anything that man make
I don't put too much into it because I can take it with me
find your passion
and in my experience
no matter what you do at work what you do in official settings
that passion will be grounded in people
grounded in the relationships you have with people
what they think of you
when your time comes
in the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I
In our ordinariness that are here
one thing that I can tell you that I do every single day of my life is I try
to find someone else to change their life
I waited till 39 to get married because I had to wait that long
to find someone else
where her happiness
Is more important than mine
and if nothing else I hope that all of you can find that kinda passion
And that kind of love in your life
thank you
We are granted the opportunity to understand
why our eyes are open why they see what they do
in the short time before they close
for ever
