Nearly every day I think about what he said. Since then I completed that half-marathon, since then I have written a successful book, since then I started a second business, since then I have kept living.

To “One day you’ll be out of days!” We’re all gonna die, we have to live like there’s no tomorrow, all those types of cliches. No kidding! I’m glad we can count on it bc I’m being sincere when I say it’s all I look forward to. If I could sleep forever I would. If I didn’t have responsibilities to others I’d end it right now. So the end of my life will be welcome! This experience sucks now. And it’s sucked for the most part from the beginning tbh. Idk what kinds of lies people tell themselves to not feel exactly the same way. I wish I knew bc I’d love to not feel this way. I’d love to feel like everyone else who likes this experience and who thinks we should cherish it. I just don’t know how to make my brain work that way.

Your nephew may have meant well but it's very disrespectful to make such a broad and insulting statement. I know many people who are retired spending their days relaxing, reading, watching movies, visiting family and friend. For 45-50 years they worked hard, sometimes with only 1 vacation, struggled financially to send kids to college, helped take care of their aging parents, helped take care of grandkids, hosting big family dinners etc etc. It may appear to your nephew people waiting to die but if he spoke to individuals he might find they're enjoying the fruits of their labor and resting

Those are really though cases though and the patients family/friends really need to want to actually help them or these cronic cases are just not possible to save.

My dad died last month of sudden cardiac arrest at 54 years old. No warnings, no symptoms, nothing. Just one day his days ran out while at work. We were all there and watched him take his last breaths a week later in the ICU. At 28 I'm seeing the world a lot differently now and I've found myself counting my days. Watching my Dad, an active working man suddenly drop all of a sudden has slapped me into a reality I used to ignore, but have in a way come to terms with. As a mechanic I'm not glued to a screen, but when I get home I spend too much time playing video games. That's going to change. I love nature and camping, but never set enough time aside to actually do it. With my new perspective on life, and how each day is numbered, I'm going to get myself out there more. Thank you Bjorn, I'm a new watcher and your stuff has really helped me.

I did enjoy your video thank you Bjorn. I thought about the 'running out of time' when I was critically ill in 2006, I almost died 3 times over a period of 10 months in hospital but I survived somehow. I remember laying in bed one day and thinking would I regret dying now at that moment and my answer was no I wouldn't as I had lived a full life but I would miss all the people that were in my life. Material possessions were absolutely meaningless to me. I ended up with getting another 17 years and I'm still here, I have filled that extra bonus time with many more things I have done so I feel very blessed.

I have a reminder on my “smart phone” (I know I know) and every day at 11am it tells me a quote I heard that I love “You cannot live your life in fear or you will forsake the best parts of it”. It reminds me to go do something important with my day.

@joleaneshmoleane8358 Жыл бұрын

What’s “important”? Everything is completely insignificant in the grand scheme unless you happen to have real power and wealth, unless you’re one of the few people who rule the world and who are above almost all consequences. To “One day you’ll be out of days!” We’re all gonna die, we have to live like there’s no tomorrow, all those types of cliches. No kidding! I’m glad we can count on it bc I’m being sincere when I say it’s all I look forward to. If I could sleep forever I would. If I didn’t have responsibilities to others I’d end it right now. So the end of my life will be welcome! This experience sucks now. And it’s sucked for the most part from the beginning tbh. Idk what kinds of lies people tell themselves to not feel exactly the same way. I wish I knew bc I’d love to not feel this way. I’d love to feel like everyone else who likes this experience and who thinks we should cherish it. I just don’t know how to make my brain work that way.

@@joleaneshmoleane8358 I mean something that is important to me. I enjoy wild camping, but when I set up the reminder I hadn’t done it in a while. I took my stove and made a lunch in my local woods. Another day I booked myself in to attend a club I’d been putting off going to. I visited a parent. I’ve done dozens of things because I say that quote to myself that I otherwise would have put off for another day that would never have come. What is important? It’s what is important to you. You are the only one of you, the only one on a galaxy of billions and billions of stars, there is only one of you. Do not be so eager to leave the only chance you have to attend the party that is your life.

Bjorn, it's a truth. But decades ago I had a Near Death Experience after collapsing from pneumonia. It changed the way I saw the world, although I still fall into fear sometimes from habit. Since the advent of Yt, I 've watched many other's NDE experiences, and most are a close match to mine. So, I have no fear of death, and accept I may never accomplish all of my dreams. I've just turned 66 yoa, and have decided to learn archery which I'd put off for decades. I'm loving it! I'm just saying, each according to their belief. Mine asks am I pandering to my ego when I regret what I've not done? What we assume would have been the end result, is but a story in our heads and not an unfulfilled prediction. It could have been a road to destruction. I once told a friend that I sorely regret selling all of my classic motorbikes when I became a dad. I miss riding them so much, and haven't the funds to buy even one now. She said that I'm assuming I wouldn't be dead by now, from a road accident...gravel slip, oil slick, bad car drivers, low sun blindness. But to those 'somedays' sufferers who are standing on the precipice edge looking down at the clouds below, you may well jump and be smashed on the hidden rocks below, but you may equally land on the back of a soaring eagle. But if you never jump out of fear, you'll never give flight to your full potential. "Audentes fortuna juvat" This is deep stuff and worthy of long discussion.

We all take life for granted. It is only when loved ones die unexpectedly, those who are younger than us, who you feel shouldn't go before you, that you realise how precious life is! I lost my youngest brother in 2018. I was heartbroken and cried day and night for months! Since then death has very much been on my mind and how I have to make the most of each day! We none of us know when it will be our turn but we do know with absolute certainty that we are all going to die!

Telling my children to go out and pursue their dreams. Do things now, don’t make the same mistakes that I have. Served my country as a soldier in various capacities, worked in healthcare for forty plus years from certified to licensed positions taking care of society, postponed things I wanted to do because had to take time to support kid’s’ activities demanded by their ‘sports’, etc. So, I did for others, but now my body is broken and where the hell is society that expected me to do these things? Only you can take care of yourself and your dreams - seize the day! Society doesn’t care. Don’t break yourself by throwing the pearls of your life before the swine of society. Live life to the fullest. If you choose to retire, do so to pursue what you wish to, not because you can’t pursue anything.

7 years ago I came in the hospital, after a week a cardiologist came at my bed and he told me, "you have car-di-o-my-o-pa-thy..." In the way he said it, I knew it was a rare illness, and in my family it is genetic, my grandfather and mother died of it. It will kill me some day, or I will get a donor heart. (not sure if I want). I am 54 years old, and I had a friend, few months older, she died of a heart attack 2 weeks before her 55th birthday... For me it was a wake up call and I told my family, no matter what, I will celebrate my 55th birthday. I have a lot of dreams and I am fighting to take each day... I have my meds, which I only take when I feel I need them. I really believe that, if I listened to all doctors, I would have been dead right now. I have a pacemaker, but that only is false comfort... I even regret taking that, it was in a time of weakness and fear. And fear is the Mindkiller. I dream of going back to nature, have a little land, have my garden, my animals and live the simple life... I believe that the hard work in nature will give more health then all the pills of the doctor. In Holland it is hard to find nature, too many people living here, but one day I will have and meanwhile I gather the knowledge, needed for that time... I will survive until it is my time to go, and not before

I went threw cancer 3 yrs ago and I thought he might think about it at that point. He kinda did , he has always said I'm gonna die before you, I would say you don't know that, I might die tmrw. So yeah we have always lived our life to the fullest up to this point. Although my Cancer is in remission it sure set me back abit and ,I am just so tired all the time , but I don't give up trying to go and do adventures.

Many people are stuck because they have not gotten over their upbringing. People are limited by their own thoughts. You know what they say, "beliefs are stronger than prison bars." The Buddhists have figured out what the problem is and that is the mind and the mind is not the brain. The mind is something else, it can be likened to a dark and dense forest that many people are lost in. The greatest fear for humanity is their own thoughts, refusing to delve into one's thinking is a lost opportunity. I have been delving into my thinking for over twenty years and I encountered some pretty dark, sinister and evil stuff in there. Sometimes I had to take a break from the analyzing because I uncovered some pretty disturbing thoughts. But after a break, I would start at it again until I found the origins of certain thoughts and I ended up releasing preoccupations I had and they no longer controlled me.

@Bandybear Жыл бұрын

fear is different for everyone and don’t let that be your guide for the decisions you will face. Regret is the hardest pill to swallow. Knowing you could have been there for someone you love but didn’t appreciate or to live a life you didn’t respect and wasted in depression. Don’t be a coward. Only experience will lead to examine your own actions and where you have found yourself.

But, i have lived my life with wild abandon at times , also worked in the medical profession helping save lives long enough to know i was ready and able to live free again for the last 6 years. Its been a crazy life! Now im settled and preparing to leave this world on my own terms, the same as I've lived. I may take treatment, i may not since i still feel just fine. I may wander off alone into the forest as most of God's creatures do because they just know. That seems like the most natural thing in the world, at least to me.
