“‘Tis very certain the desire of life prolongs it.”

– Lord Byron, English poet

This week, my family is experiencing the passing of my brother-in-law Arthur. His death is a crushing loss to many friends and family members, and to the medical profession.

Listening to his colleagues describe his passion for life and for helping others was a remarkable testament to his courageous heart and his desire to make a difference under very difficult circumstances.

Exercise:

What relationships, passions, and purposes make you look forward to each and every day?

Pursuing these activities with even greater enthusiasm and engagement will almost assuredly provide you with a more prolonged and fulfilling life.
