My 1001 days were officially over on August 13th. I still can't quite believe that 1001 days have gone by since I started this little project. You have this huge list of things that you want to accomplish, but that's okay, because you have plenty of time.
Except you don't.
Isn't it that way with many things in life? We seem to be under the impression that time is an infinite resource. There is always more time. I'll do this later, I'll go see her tomorrow, etc.
But time runs out. Sometimes, that thing you didn't do because you had more time - was your last chance to do whatever that thing was, you just didn't realize it.
That changes my perspective on a lot of decisions. If this were my last chance to do ______, would I still put it off? Sometimes, I still would put it off. For example, my quality of life wouldn't decrease if I didn't put together that puzzle and never got the chance.
If it's a trip, or spending time with someone I love, or making a decision about my health, I'd make the decision right then and there if I knew I would run out of time.
I could go further in depth with this, but I won't. At least not on here - but in the privacy of my own thoughts, it's been weighing on me heavily this morning.
So what will I do now? I actually think I'll start over, make a new list. There are things I still would like to accomplish on the previous one, and I'm sure I can think of plenty of new goals.
I'm going to put some thought into making the list, so when it's done, I'll post it and keep right on going.
