yeah right.



six months left? get real. I'd cash in and live like a teenager again - vegas, dubai, singapore, nyc, etc. no prisoners. ok i'd give some to charity too.

Then, if I did get a dreaded 6-month warning, I'd spend as much time with my family, creating as many good meaningful moments and memories as possible with them, write a memoir or journal of life lessons, write down all of the things I have been thinking about working on or researching but don't have time to work on anymore in case anybody else wants to pick up where I left off. I would write songs about my family and try to perform/record it for them. I'd try to connect to and impact as many other people as possible around me in a positive way, teaching, mentoring, etc.



i know someone who is doing exactly this with their dying brother. The 'meaningful memories' they hoped for to try and make the most of their last weeks together mostly involve sitting round and crying. Then they remember some funny past moment. Then they start crying again when they realise there will be no more such memories. Its a total dirge. It's really sad.

I can't really think of anything I'd do differently. Right now everything I've got is going into this business. Living off of 30% of my income, working long days with no days off, whatever it takes. I'm in the process of my bamboo year and there is nothing I want more than what I'm doing right now.

I forgot not everyone knows that terminology. Basically what it means is that I've been waiting a long time to get to where I am right now and things are finally starting to happen. See the article below for a more in-depth description:

The above may not yield a big population: trade needs to be held for approx nine months to reach target.
