This came up on my Facebook feed while waiting for my turn at the clinic. I am really inspired by this speech by Ben Nemtin. This is not about art but this applies to all aspects of our lives. I am 47, at the point of my life where I realise that half of my life has gone…poof! What the hell did I do for the past 47 years? Have I achieved my goals and dreams? It is time to take stock. Time passes so quickly that I now know that I have to cherish every day and live it to the fullest. No time for bullshit, for negativity, for unhealthy habits, for energy-sucking people, for procrastination….out with those. I have decided to live my life according to my own standards. I have decided to seize the day as it comes. I am also inspired to come up with my own bucket list. As the saying goes, if you write down what you want, there is a 40% chance of getting it. I have done that before and it works. First, please watch this inspiring video by Ben Nemtin.
