Life is not a game one can win. Life is the prize we've already won.

Thank you Mark, at Mystic Meaning for this quote! Made me recall many conversations with terminal patients - this quote came alive for me today!


I've talked with many who came to this realization with a terminal diagnosis - a time frame left on their earthly life.
Regardless of whether or not they were 'successful' businessmen, housewives, grandmothers, or even younger adults.



All previous bets were off -it became time to enjoy the gift of life and disregard their own mindset of priorities and hoop jumping to 'advance' in life.
I think their definition of living changed when it was threatened with ending abruptly.


For many, hearing the 2 minute warning sparked them to really begin living. ❀ Joan
