There is this guy, Zach Sobiech, and he is amazing. Most of you have probably watched his documentary "My Last Days," and are probably asking why he is being referred to in present tense. Yes, Zach has passed, but what this kid did before his last days seem more fulfilling that most could do over years of time.
And it was in this quote that my so seemingly dull life has been turned upside down.
"You don't have to find out you're dying to start living."
The truth encompassed with this quote seems more just than a perfect pair of Christian Louboutin's. We as humans spend so much time being everything we think is expected.
We get a degree and a job. We take in a paycheck and send it out to rent and bills. We Do all these things which seem to be right, but what if we didn't?
What if you were struck with the fact of death. A doctor told you there were less months to live than to die? Would you still do the same things you were? Still have the same goals? Or would everything change?
What Zach taught me in that 22 minute, tear filled, video was that some times you have to do those thing that seem unrealistic. You have to let go of the fears and take in the bad. That bad might produce the next number one hit on iTunes. Or even more, you might begin to live the life that was meant for you. The one where amazing things unfold.
