I recently gave a keynote speech in Western Massachusetts titled, “Altitude of Attitude.” The purpose was to entertain, motivate, and most importantly help create an emotional shift in the audience. I shared a story about my experience with a horrific auto accident that nearly took my life when I was just beginning my teenage years. Then I talked about how that event shaped my life, but even with this perspective I am always growing and nurturing my attitude.
Life is incredibly fragile and precious. Every hug, thank you, and handshake must be cherished and shared with your complete attention and soul. We get so caught up in keeping up with the speed of life that we forget to do the most fundamental and important things.
If today were your last day, would it matter that yesterday you argued over dishes in the sink, you were late to an engagement, or your son misbehaved? What matters most is that you gave your all to your family, friends and work.
Remember to cherish those you love by taking care of yourself first. Love yourself first and give yourself the greatest gift you can; the gift of health and vibrancy; Physical, emotional, and psychological health. Nurture all three and then you will have even more to give to those who are most important in your life.
What is the Altitude of your Attitude?

I agree wholeheartedly. Croix says it so well here. Too many people live like zombies instead of (with appologies to Tim McGraw) live like they're dying.
