Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying

What happens when life reminds you just how fragile it really is? In this episode, we explore the piercing clarity that comes from brushing up against death—not losing your life, but coming close enough to feel its presence. Most of us think we’d want to know when our time is up. We imagine we’d be ready. But if you’re truly living, you’re never ready. A close call changes you—your gratitude, your habits, your relationships, the very pace of your heartbeat. It leaves a mark on you… and on the people who love you.

We’ll talk about what shifts inside us after those moments: the things that suddenly matter, the things that suddenly don’t, and the questions we can no longer ignore about what it really means to live well.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why brushes with death reshape our priorities
  • How near-loss impacts not just us, but everyone who loves us
  • The difference between understanding death and being ready for it
  • The surprising gratitude that follows a close call
  • The essential questions that help us choose how we truly want to live

🛠️ Action Step:

Pause today and ask yourself: “If I knew I had one more day, how would I spend it—and with whom?” Let your answers guide at least one choice you make this week.

📌 Perfect For:

  • Anyone who has survived a close call
  • People grieving, healing, or trying to make sense of life’s fragility
  • Listeners seeking clarity, purpose, or renewed gratitude
  • Anyone ready to stop taking life—and love—for granted
