A man was contemplating his mortality as
all of us seem to do the older we get. As he approached his 55th
birthday he started doing some of his own reality math. The average person
lives to be 75 so he realized if he was so blessed, then he had only 20 more
years to live. He did some calculations and came to the realization that in 75
years, there are something like 3,900 weekends in life. He couldn’t imagine how many of those he had
already squandered, time wasted. He also realized that at 55, if he did indeed
live to be 75; that meant he had about 1,000 weekends left. He went out and
bought himself 1,000 marbles to represent his time to live. He put them all in
one glass bottle and labelled it, “time
left to live.”

Very interesting story. That's a creative way of keeping track of your life. It reminds me that I need to not waste any of my weekends.
Remember to live life to the fullest. Enjoy it and do the things you love. To many of us waste so much time doing things that we don't have a passion for. Keep pushing for the life you want. Set goals, have a vision, and above all enjoy the journey! Great read - thank you.
