It only takes one event to change your perspective of life and how you live your life.  As a father of four kids this can be an eye opener and it can be an eye opener even if you don’t have kids.

I found a “Lump” on my chest and my mind start going into overdrive. Is it just a knot or is it a cyst or is it the big bad “C” word.  I found it a month ago and I just had it removed last Saturday.  This might not be a big deal for someone that had this done but it is a big deal for me.  Someone that is perfectly healthy with four kids.

It is scary to have one and not know what it is.  The doctors can only guess what it is without a biopsy.  Even doctors can get it wrong.  And they can get it right.  I know of a person that had a “Lump” and was told it was a cyst even after getting it taken out.  After it came back from the lab, it wasn’t a cyst.  It was cancer.

So knowing this and having everybody telling it could be a cyst, I wouldn’t be completely relieved until the lab tells me the same thing and I hoping for this.

I have been spending more time with my kids this past week then I normally do.  I also started doing a couple small things on my bucket list that I always wanted to do.  One of them is to read the bible all of the way through.

My perspective of life has changed a lot even if it is not cancerous and everything is normal.  My thought process on this has changed for the rest of my life and now my priorities has changed with it.

That is why I’m a couple letters behind everyone in the challenge.

Have you had a life changing event that changed your perspective of life?  ?  Did your priorities changed as well or are you back to the way you used to be?  Feel free to leave your answer in the comments and I will respond to the questions you have.

Everyone needs to live life to the fullest because you will never know when it will end.  I have learned this the hard way in the past month.  As a dad of four kids it is hard to think of not seeing them grow up or get married or even have kids of their own.

But have you thought of what they remember you for?  Do you play catch with your kids or dance with them or even listen to a story they want to tell you?  You might be losing a chance to make an influence on your kids and have them remember you for being a dad or mom that lived their life to the fullest.

The more memories you have with your kids, the longer you live in their hearts.  For example, I don’t remember much of my grandpa on my dad’s side of the family.  He never played with us grandkids.  He end up getting old and had to use a wheelchair.  I know he was my grandpa by blood, but I really don’t know him.

This is what you want to avoid with your kids or even your grandkids.  Live life to the fullest and include them in every part of it.

I kind of left the idea that I learned this in the last month is because I have a “lump” in me that they don’t know what it is.  They have a guess for the best but they don’t know and it could be the big bad “C” word.  I will have it removed on Friday and see what it really is.

Even if this is the best case scenario, it is still a huge wakeup call to me.  Life is short to waste it away on stuff that doesn’t matter.  Stuff that matters is your religion and your family.

When did you have your wakeup call about living life to the fullest or was this you’re your wakeup call?  Life is too short, what are you going to do today with your kids or grandkids?  Feel free to leave your answer in the comments and I will respond to the questions you have.
