<h2><span style="font-family: 'Verdana' ,'sans-serif'; color: #032e78; font-size: 14pt;">Two years ago I was being rushed to the hospital by my frightened wife. I thought I might be a heart beat away from a heart attack or death. Everything out of the car window was moving in slow motion. My eyes kept noticing all the beautiful flowers.</span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>An hour before, the entire left side of my face completely stopped working. I was slurring. No longer able to blink. I figured I&#8217;d suffered a stroke. A heart attack seemed like it could be next. And there I was waiting for my wife to speed home and rush me to the emergency room.</p>
<p>You know what I did during the wait? I wrote. Figuring it might be my last opportunity to reflect on life. This is what came out:</p>

<td>&#8220;The greatest thing about life is the love<br />
you give and receive.<br />
The moments when you loved someone so well<br />
they smiled a deep and peaceful joy.<br />
The moments when someone loved you so well<br />
you felt seen and magnificent.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The greatest thing about life is the surprises.<br />
The thrilling opportunity you received out of the blue.<br />
The perfect words you needed that happened to<br />
be written on the wall you happened upon.<br />
The song that perfectly matches your situation<br />
while it&#8217;s happening.</p>
<p>The greatest thing about life is that it actually<br />
affords you &#8216;dream come true&#8217; moments, charging<br />
you a reasonable entrance fee of only risk and<br />
persistence and belief.</p>
<p>The greatest thing about life is the laughs.<br />
The laughs that emerged out of nowhere.<br />
The laughs that were created by a friend.<br />
The laughs you prompted in someone else.<br />
Laughter is both a magnificent feeling and a<br />
great sound.</p>
<p>The great thing about life is the miracles.<br />
The spiritual ones that suddenly remind you<br />
that the most amazing reality is the unseen<br />
reality playing a part in everything we do.<br />
The miracles that remind us that we are<br />
spiritual beings. That the universe is very loving.<br />
Especially the miracles that feel like a giant<br />
hug from God.</p>
<p>The greatest thing about life is children.<br />
Especially your children. They are as close<br />
to God as I have ever come.</p>
<p>The greatest thing about life is making love.<br />
Not sex. But love. The kind where you intertwine<br />
in energy that feels like silk and magic. The kind<br />
that heals you.</p>
<p>The greatest thing about life is creativity.<br />
Creativity and sex are sisters &#8211; both very<br />
passionate and exhubarant feelings. Pinnacle<br />
experiences.</p>
<p>The greatest thing about life is dedicating yourself<br />
to something you passionately feel matters.<br />
For a long time. No matter what the odds or what<br />
others think. As long as it encrosses you and makes<br />
you come alive.</p>
<p>How much time does each of us have left<br />
to experience these wonders of life?</p>
<p>Love, P&#8221;</td>

<p>My life has meant a whole lot more to me since that day. (Turns out I had a temporary condition called Bells Palsy that left my face paralyzed for six months).</p>
<p>That day increased my deep and authentic desire to truly serve people into their best lives and grandest possibilities.</p>
<p>P.S. <strong>That&#8217;s one of the behind the scenes reasons I&#8217;m doing a webinar on what I call YOUR MIGHT tomorrow, Wednesday. </strong>Here&#8217;s how to register at no cost for one of the 97 on-line seats. I&#8217;d love to see you there. <span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri' ,'sans-serif'; color: #1f497d; font-size: 11pt;">www.goodthink.com</span></p>
