The Shocking Truth About Life: We Are Going to Die And We Don’t Know When...

... So Develop a Sense of Urgency And Stop Drinking Alcohol Now In the BBC documentary, Drinkers Like Me, the British TV and radio presenter, Adrian Chiles, discovers that his consumption of alcohol is physically damaging his liver after undergoing a scan. If you watch the documentary, you will see that Chiles is wracked with cognitive dissonance over his decision to continually drink more than the government health guidelines. Did the trip to the doctors help him stop drinking? No. He still drinks, today. I remember the first time I told my son that one day he would die. To say it was a lot to take in is an understatement. I believe from that moment his subconscious buried any thought of death, because, emotionally, it’s too painful. We become immortal. I will spend most of the day sitting on my arse, writing. Last night, I slept less than six hours. I have not come out of the house prepared, so I may eat something that’s not optimal for my health. I skipped my meditation so I could get to work quicker. All of these choices are negative towards my health, and accumulatively they become a problem over time, but it’s not enough to change my behaviour. If a doctor told me tomorrow that I would die if I didn’t run two miles a day for the rest of my life, then two miles I would run. Jen Sincero says a sense of urgency is important, and when someone tells you that you’re going to die, then that’s urgency. But why are we waiting? We know we are going to die. Why isn’t that sense of urgency here now? That’s the topic of today’s podcast discussion.
