If my mindset is,
“I can’t wait for this moment to pass,”
it doesn’t make me feel good.
Everything becomes irritating.
I feel down and impatient.
But when I change my mindset to,
“This moment won’t come back, so I want to make the most of it,”
something shifts.
Then I ask myself,
“What is the most important thing to focus on right now?”
My answer was simple:
Spending as much time with my dad as possible.
I start focusing on what truly matters.
Even at the end of his life,
he is still smiling and holding my hand.
He told me,
“Many of my friends died because they worked too much.”
He regretted that he didn’t invest enough in his health.
He said,
“At the end, nothing really matters that much.”
He also said he wished he didn’t care so much about other people’s approval,
and that he had been more truly himself.
Listening to him makes me think deeply.
What do I really want in my life?
How do I want to live?
Why do we delay what matters?
“Am I living in a way I won’t regret later?”
Because this moment will be gone.
Time never stops or comes back.
So I made a list of things I truly want to do and who I truly want to be when I return to Australia.🤗
