Today, I am once again reminded that I should consciously enjoy the time that everything is perfect.
I have been in business for around 10 years now. I got hundreds of consumer clients and once in while one dies.
The first time this happened was a couple of months after I just started.
A guy called me up asking for help.
I was still so nervous about my knowledge and my ability to help back then but the guy was cool and relaxed and told me to take my time.
I solved his computer problem.
His family was also there. A wife and 3 young kids.
My niece Fee and me and the sandwich she didn't eat. We had fun!
The next time I got a call from the same address it was from his wife. Her husband died unexpectedly leaving her and 3 kids behind.
It sure did affect younger me.
It was the first time someone only I knew (and not my friends and family) passed away. It was very strange.
Today I have to go to another client. Her husband passed away (cancer) and she needs help with his tablet.
She notified me yesterday.
They have been my clients for over 7 years.
Every time this happens
Every time this happens I realize how fast things can turn to shit. One bad moment and everything changes.
Consciously enjoying the time that everything is perfect is therefore so important.
I don't know why I keep forgetting this all the time.
It seems so normal that things go well.
Events like these are a great reminder though.

Always hard and a reminder for ourselves to live life to the fullest. But I guess we all tend to forget what living is all about when we just walk around in one huge circle.

The worst thing is that it can happen to everybody - old and young , sick and healthy. So we have to remember to live life to the fullest and show our love to the people that we truly love!
Every second we have on this earth is a blessing and so very precious. It's so easy to get caught up in our daily lives and forget this as we work toward achieving our goals. Time truly is our most precious commodity and making sure to spend it with those we love is the most important way we can take advantage of the time we are allotted, for it can all be gone in an instant.
I can't remember where I heard this from, but it goes something like this, "Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not guaranteed, right now is the most important and glorious time we will ever know, that's why it's called "the present."
Inspiring and reflective post brother! Being on holiday and away from Steemit (thought I could use the Esteem app, turned out all I could do was vote, grrrr, think it's time for a new phone.) made me see how much I enjoy and how big a part of my life it's become. You truly don't appreciate some things until they're taken away from you. Have a great day man!
I hope you had (or having) a great holiday man!
I wrote a post about this one but I was told one that 'as you get older, especially when you start breaking down, you come to the realisation that you will eventually stop working, and you slowly, and gradually ease into the acceptance of its inevitability.'
Over time the fear of death may be taken off our soldiers but we will constantly keep fearing it even prior to our death. It is an innate feeling that no one can stop as it keeps ringing in the back of your mind.
When we see people die around us we are snapped back into reality from our fantasy. We learn that our time here is short and we need to fulfil and value every second of it.
It is hard for many of us to see from a young and lively perspective that we have so much to do and of course the necessity of fearing death, is to survive for the possibility of some purpose.
To get some fulfilment out of our lives before it ends so find that satisfaction that you are craving for.
The more you decide to run away from death, in reality, all you are doing is running towards it and it is a path in which we will not be able to change. My prayers go out to your client @exyle
@exyle, I haven't posted in a while now, (almost 3 weeks) as I have been confronting a very difficult period in my life. My dad aged 82 is suffering from dementia and schizophrenia since a few months and off late things are out of hand. He has been hospitalized since last 3 weeks and it has been extremely stressful on me to say the least.
A couple of hours a friend told me that it is all Karma and payback stuff and nothing can be done about it. He said it's like any /all troubles or sufferings are a sign of Karma getting cleared and it's a good thing to happen.
Anyways, I believe I have one life, a very finite amount of time on earth, so pain or joy, just experience it as life doles it to you and get on with it. That makes life bearable. That's what I am attempting to do with my life right now.
Wow, that is very tough to deal with man, sorry to hear that. I wish you (and your dad) a lot of strength through this difficult time.
Exactly that. It's somehow so easy to take what we have for granted, until it's gone.
I do my best to remind myself of this, but I have to admit most of the time I spend on worrying about seemingly unimportant issues.
Thanks for the reminder 👊
excellent content, follow me and help me grow in steemit
As you all know, This is life.
Off course it is strange. We all want to live forever.
I read a book and it is stated those words that I want to share with you
"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and DEATH will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed.
It is very soothing to know that.
Sooner or later in our life, we are all going to have to face the inevitability of our own death. Life is too short to worry about what others say or think . So just enjoy life, have fun, and give them something to talk about.

@exyle - You are right - sometimes it feels like it takes but one moment for somethings to change drastically. Death, of course is very unpredictable and when someone known (a close one or just an acquaintance), it affects us. I have had a jarring experience of a person playing a game opposite me drop down in the middle of a game and pass away a few minutes later when we took him to hospital... It changed my perspective on life.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Everyone needs to be reminded of living in the moment and enjoy the little joys of life.
I blog about wildlife and nature and enjoy it whenever I get a chance. Just my method of enjoying a few stress free moments
Regards,

@exyle what you just shared is what most people don't like to talk about. We all have an expiration date. One of the most profound things that happened to me 18 years ago was the death of my mother. It was totally unexpected at the time but it was a real eye opener for me. I really never felt the emotions I did in life until my mom passed away. It was the FIRST time in my life when I thought about my own mortality.............I always enjoy your posts and I thank you for sharing how you were effected in your life...............Chin UP, Positive Thoughts.
I'm trying to be always positive whenever I can. Beautiful story (lesson, not sure how to word this) about your mom, I'm sure that put things into perspective for you. All the best, man.
Thank you for taking the Time to interact with those that Comment on your Posts........... @exyle
