The Most Powerful Motivator in the Universe

The single most powerful motivator in the Universe is simply to realize that you are not infinite.

As a human being, you are finite. You have a certain amount of time to create value and offer it to the world.

What would you do if you knew that you only have 336-months left to live?

The fact is, at my current age, if I lived as long as my Dad, Mom and Grandparents I’d have about 336 months left on Earth.

WOW, was that a wake up call. Here’s how I got to that figure.

I took the age of my Dad, Mom, Grandmother, and Grandfather at the time of their death and added them up.

Then I divided by four to get an average.

That gave me a life expectancy average age of 85-years old. I know, it’s not truly scientific, but it is close enough for the purpose outlined here.

I subtracted my current age of 57, multiplied by 12 (for 12-months), and arrived 336 months.

A harsh truth but reality nonetheless.

Give it a try. You’ll never look at your life the same way again.
