What if the relentless pursuit of your "purpose" has been a grand misunderstanding? What if the answers you've been seeking, the legacy you yearn to leave, aren't found in monumental achievements or endless striving, but in the most profound, yet beautifully simple, human experience: love?

Welcome to "If I Die Tomorrow," the podcast that dares to gently explore life's deepest questions, offering fresh perspectives on existence, meaning, and our ultimate purpose. In our latest thought-provoking episode, "The Simple Truth: Is Love Our Only Purpose?", I invite you to peel back the layers of societal expectations and reconnect with what truly matters. Host Nicole guides listeners on an introspective journey, challenging the conventional wisdom that ties our purpose to external metrics like career success, financial gain, or grand impact.

Many of us spend years, even decades, feeling like we're falling short, constantly searching for that elusive "calling" or "passion." We accumulate possessions, chase achievements, and pursue careers, all in the hope of unearthing a meaningful existence. But what if, in our striving, we've overlooked the fundamental force that truly shapes our lives? This episode encourages listeners to consider a radical idea: what if our ultimate purpose is simply to love?

Our knee-jerk reaction to thoughts of mortality can be discomfort, even fear. But I want to suggest that facing this reality, even just for a few moments, can be a surprisingly effective tool in defusing those fiery bursts of frustration and rage.

Think about it. When you're caught in the grip of intense anger, what's usually at the root? Often, it's a perceived injustice, a slight, a feeling of being disrespected, or an unmet expectation. In that moment, these things can feel overwhelmingly important, triggering a surge of negative emotions.

But what if you suddenly shift your perspective? What if you genuinely consider the possibility of your time being limited? Suddenly, that spilled coffee, that critical email, that minor disagreement… do they hold the same weight? Does that fleeting irritation still warrant the energy-draining intensity of your anger response?

This isn't about dwelling on death in a negative way. It's about using the awareness of our finite existence to recalibrate our priorities. When we ask ourselves, "If I die tomorrow, what would I regret not doing? Who would I regret not forgiving? What moments would I wish I had cherished more instead of letting anger consume me?", the answers can be incredibly revealing.

The small annoyances that often spark outbursts of anger tend to fade into insignificance when viewed through the lens of our limited time. What rises to the surface are the truly important things: our relationships, our well-being, our peace of mind. Holding onto resentment and letting irritability fester suddenly seems like a colossal waste of the precious moments we have.

This practice isn't about suppressing your feelings. It's about gaining perspective and choosing how you respond to those feelings. Recognizing the impermanence of life can help you detach from the immediate trigger of your anger and consider the bigger picture. It can foster mindfulness, bringing you back to the present moment and allowing you to react with more patience and compassion.

So, this week, I encourage you to spend a few moments contemplating that powerful question: If I die tomorrow… What shifts in your perspective? What truly matters? How might this awareness help you navigate those moments when anger starts to rise?

If this resonated with you please leave a comment. If you know someone who might benefit please share.

Remember - Be Kind, Be Grateful, Stay Humble

Until next week.
