Awesome and to the point. I love the way that Ted uses his experience to share with others the perspective that is gained through life and death situations and the urgency to begin creating our legacy now (if we haven’t already done so). I think about this a lot. What will I be remembered for when I’m gone? Did I choose to be happy? Did I choose to be the best person I could be? Did I do everything I could to be the best daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend that I could be? Did I make the best difference I could have in all the lives I could have, especially where eternity is concerned? What is the best use of my time right this minute…every minute….every day? What am I accomplishing with my life as a whole? How can I make it better? Most importantly…what does God want me to do with the life He has given to me; and am I doing that? When my life has come to an end, will I have a legacy that will last for many generations and will it be the kind of legacy that makes a positive difference in the lives of those we love and care about as well as those who hear about us but we may never meet? It’s not how many years you live or your beginning or end that count, but how you live your dash (the dash between your birth date and your death date) that matters.
Thank you for sharing the video and giving us a renewed perspective on the real priorities in life and how we live our dash.

Excellent content, thought provoking and a real call proactive reflecting and thinking.

Reminder to think about what is really important in your life and do you show it, live it, do it.

I will change those things or at very least die trying to change or improve them.

Alex, thanks for the video. Great story

We all hear these stories and it stops us for a few minutes and we vow to “change”, yet for many it’s so temporary.

Tomorrow they are the same as they were today

A video like this is great to act as a catalyst, a reminder of what really should matter. But take the action.
Create the habits that will lead to lasting change.
