Last Year Challenge
It’s interesting that the Mayans and Nostradamus predicted 2012 would be our final year. It isn’t something I believe, but it’s something I can be inspired by.
How would you live, if you believed the world will end in December? Would you become religious or reckless? Would it make you afraid or would it make you brave?
I’m divorced against my will. I’ve lost all I ever wanted. My life has been externally altered in a way I hate. So now what? The best thing I can imagine moving forward is to live as though all that mattered to me before no longer does. I’ve decided to make the most of every day and live in the moment. Every day, I’ll be motivated by the idea that this is the last year we have on earth. The idea inspires the epicurean in me toward a fearlessness that isn’t my nature. I’ll try things that scared me before. Instead of pursuing my future, I’m going to be pursuing my present as if the present is all the future I’ll have.
I want to invite you to join me this year. We don’t have to buy into an idea that the Mayans knew what they were predicting. Heck, if they weren’t able to predict the end of their culture so taking their prediction seriously isn’t the point. Join me in imagining this is our last year and living with that knowledge. Do what you’ve always been afraid to do and pursue dreams you’ve kept on the back-burner for later.
If no one joins me on this journey, that’s okay. I need to do what works for me, but it sure would be nice to build a community around this idea. Imagining this is my last year inspires me to make choices I might otherwise postpone. I’d love to know what the idea does for you. If you embrace this idea for 2012, I hope you’ll connect with me. I want to hear about your journey, your goals and how the idea of living like this is our last year works in your life.
I invite you to join me. You’re welcome to join the blog and write about your goals and experience. Post videos on YouTube tagged as LastYear.TV and I’ll add them here.
I look forward to connecting with you this year!
