Posts: 461November 2011 Dont want to sound like I'm on a downer because I'm not. Just had a light bulb moment this week and feel the need to share it. My Dad died 10 yers ago from cancer, he was 56, and this week a friend of the family took his own life,he was 50. I'm 37 and this week I started to feel mortal, no longer the brave act of never thinking of the end. I realise that the time I have left on this earth maybe short or maybe long but one things for sure I wont have a say in it.
So life will now be lived on a day to day basis, I will cherish everything I have and will never again take anything for granted. I'm not saying I have found religon or anything like that but I have found a new outlook. Dreams and aspirations will remain the same but they will take a back seat to what I already have.
So since its Friday that will mean a few cold cans of Heineken in the fridge and watching Ulster in the rugby and throwing the odd comment on here.
Has anyone else had a lightbulb moment where everything seemed to fall into place ? -

Posts: 6,728November 2011 Walk around any cemetary and you'll find that about half the people died between ages 40-60. As long as you wake up in the morning, you're doing OK. The cars, houses, jobs etc are all just a veneer. However, its very important for every man to make sure he bangs the life out of as many women as possible. (Fatties need not apply).

I've felt this way too Galway...especially over the last few weeks.
Life is just too short and time seems to pass faster than it ought to...
Just try to be happy and everything will fall into place like it should...at least that's what I tell myself.

Posts: 584November 2011 Just remember this,life is short and you are dead a long time.So get out there and enjoy yourselves.
-
Posts: 2,516November 2011 I'll be honest, I've been feeling like this for a long time, and that is why I take every opportunity I can to do all the things I can at the times I can.
-
Posts: 421November 2011 Life is what you make of it, if there is something wrong, try your best to fix it, you cant be happy 100% of the time, it is then that we seen what we're made of.
have had more downs than ups in my 34 years, but I'm still here to see out the rest, and its a new tomorrow.

Posts: 24,179November 2011 good post mate and i agree.....i live life for the next minute not the next month or year, why put off til tomorrow what you can do today imo, life is way to short and if you blink, it will pass you by :)

Posts: 19,489November 2011 Essentially a eureka moment - a sudden moment of absolute clarity - I have them.David Baddiel described it as being like a male ballerina pirouetting across stage during swan lake and half way across the stage the world suddenly slows down and he thinks to himself "W T F am I doing in front of all of these people in a leotard with my tackle on display" but then as quick as it comes its gone and he carries on as though it never happened...I just remember that because its so true for me. I have these moments of absolute clarity of thought but they rarely last more than mere seconds, so these days I just enjoy them as and when they chose to grace me with their presence.
Guess it takes some skill and effort to carry on with all of the sentiment, so maybe try to pick out one bit that you can remember and think you can stay true too. For instance in GBN's case, maybe "Friday Night = Heineken!" -
