How would you feel if July 15, 2021 you were in the exact same spot as you are right now?
If 2020 has taught me anything, it’s that life is short.
Actually, 2020 slammed my face into this fact.
To start the year off one of my biggest fears came true: I was in a car crash.
Most of my life I’ve lived in cities where I never had to drive. I actually hate driving and have zero trust for anyone else on the road.
So when a drunk driver slammed into me during Super Bowl weekend at 8 am on the way to work, it shook me to my core.
The fire department was shocked I had no one to call. My fiancé was on a trip and we have no family in Miami, but I’ve always been resilient.
And the hardest part was after my car got towed away. I had to drive myself home alone. Not even an hour later I had to face my fear again. I still get shaken up driving anytime a car passes me too fast.
Then Kobe Bryant passed away.
My whole life I grew up watching the Lakers, running the triangle office and studying Kobe and Phil.
It was put best when someone said “Superman isn’t supposed to die.”
Whether you liked basketball or not, his passing hit alot of us hard. He was with his daughter going to a basketball game just like any other weekend. You could picture yourself going to games with your own parents.
Now obviously what we’re still dealing with: Corona.
Locked in our apartment, I thought of all the things I’ve taken for granted in life. All the opportunities I missed because I thought “oh I’ll do that some other time.” I thought about how I should see my family more. How I should say I love you more. How I should go after what I want.
Life is too short to spend it unhappy and stressed out.
This year has been a mess, but it’s not over yet, and there is still time to turn it around.
Quit putting life off til next week, next month, next year.
Make a change in your life now before you waste another year watching the world go by.
