The Power of Mortality™ is not about death. It's about life! Accepting your mortality isn't about giving in to death - it is about truly living your life on purpose.
Today we're continuing our look at practical steps for tapping into the Power of Mortality™ and living it on a daily basis. (If you need to catch up, you can do so here.)
Once you understand who you are, and once you are clear on what you really want out of life, you need to focus on taking action.
At first glance, this all sounds quite simple, but can actually be very challenging. I've found that the key to success is to be careful about where you are putting your focus. It's very easy to get caught up in the "planning" and never actually get around to the "acting".
Our society is obsessed with the future. I want to make one point clear - planning for the future is important, but we need to be clear on the difference between planning for the future and living in the future.
In my "Mortality Manifesto" (which you can read here), I say that you need to be sure that every thought, word and action is moving you in the direction of your dreams. By that, I mean that we need to realize that everything we do is moving us in one direction or another. Every thought, word and action has an effect on our future. Some (for instance, harsh words towards another) can have an almost instant effect, while others can take much longer to manifest.
Living life from the perspective of the Power of Mortality™ is about being focused enough on the present to consider what effect our current thoughts, words and actions will have on our future.
We'll wrap up the process next week.
