My five-year-old Ralph came into my study the other night, to say goodnight, I gave him a huge hug and a kiss, he’s just delicious. And I said to him, I love you for two forevers.
“No daddy,” he replied.
I said, “What do you mean?”
He said, “There is only one forever.
I said “Really?”
He said, “Yes, this life is not forever, we are only passing through this life, the only forever is in heaven.”
Alright, so let’s take a beat and sit with that for a minute, this is coming from a five-year-old.
[Ralph] “This life is not forever.”
[MK] “It isn’t?”
[Ralph] “No. We are just passing through this world.”
Powerful! Take one minute every day for the rest of your life to think about the fact that you’re just passing through this life and soon you will be dead, and I guarantee you, you will live more passionately, more purposefully, more intentionally every day for the rest of your life.”
