4 Feelings And A Funeral

Emotions run at funerals. For some very high, and for some, low…to no emotion at all. For many of us it can cause us to think of our own mortality. What would be said about us, how many or how few people would attend. For some, the reality of the shortness of life is so in your face that they rethink priorities and choices. My emotional experience with this funeral was very varied. I was thinking about it, and I decided that I could categorize most of the feelings into 4 categories.

I hope you’ll come with me while I share what unexpected feelings I experienced (and why) and the realization it gave me about myself and others as we go through this time of our lives.

Not be missed take-ways:

1. How many of us humans show such disrespect of our lives by remaining complacent. Complacent in our relationships, our jobs, our situations…in our lives.

2. I think it’s more hurtful to stay with someone treading the waters of mediocrity, than it is to shake things up and either try to improve things or get the fuck out.

3. We fucking never know when it is our time, so why do we not make choices that will enable us to have a chance to live our best and most fulfilling life?!

4. Take chances! Whether it’s to do what you can to improve your current situation or change it. Just DO SOMETHING!!

5. None of us HAVE to keep things as they are, which is what some people think. We have a choice. Doing nothing is a choice.

6. Will we ever realize that settling can be the most unsettling choice we can make?

 

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

1) Choose a situation that you’re unhappy, or frustrated, or sad, about, and do something about it. I’m serious! Go to a therapist or coach, talk to your partner if it involves them…take one step.

2) Take another step, and another, until it either improves or you decide to accept it the way it is or make a change.

 

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!
