It’s been a tough week. Charli, my sixteen year-old coaching client who was involved in a car accident last week, passed away.
In a final act that sums her up better than I ever could, Charli signed up as an organ donor (against her mother’s wishes), giving the gift of life to others.
At times like this, we’re compelled to think about life differently. To ponder. To reassess. To reframe what truly matters. And I’ve come to one inescapable conclusion:
We’re all living on borrowed time.
None of us are guaranteed tomorrow. That might not sound particularly positive, but there is a way to use that as motivation to achieve more in this life than you ever thought you possibly could.
Stop pretending fear doesn’t exist. Instead, learn to use it.
Learn to fear regret more than failure.
Missed opportunities more than momentary embarassment.
Playing small more than the opinions of small-minded people.
Charli’s celebration of life was attended by dozens of people, all wearing yellow, her favorite color. She may have been quietly spoken, but she showed that doesn’t define the impact you have on others. She was strong in her faith, and that inspired others.
Make it count.
Adrian.
