Ed Mylett has quickly become my favorite people when it comes to strategizing how to become an elite performer and maxing out your life. I had never heard of Ed until a couple months ago when I really started listening to his podcasts.
I enjoyed his podcasts so much that I recently bought his book and just started reading it. What I read last night put into perspective just how short life really is. This evening, that is what I want to share with you. Ed's words, not mine.
The average lifespan of a person is seventy-eight years. Of those years, twenty-eight will be spent sleeping, and seven of those sleeping years are spend lying awake at night with worry. Factor in the average elven years watching television or surfing the internet, ten and a half years working, four years of driving, the years spent eating, getting dressed, and doing mundane tasks, and it leaves you with approximately eight years to life your life. If you were told right now that you had only eight years left in this life, what would that do to your sense of urgency? How deep would your gratitude for each moment become? - Ed Mylett
How crazy is that? I hope this hits you pretty hard tonight almost like a wake-up call. Life is short. Let's max out every minute we have.
