    About this ebook

    How would you live if you knew you had only a short time left? You would likely do the things you've always dreamed of doing, spend time with the people you love, let go of petty grievances, and make the most of every moment. This book challenges you by asking, "Why are you not living that way right now?" In addition to fostering personal growth, you will be inspired by the lives of others who have lived terminal lives, and be equipped with practical illustrations on how you, too, can live a life beyond limits.

      Terminal Living - Sandy Madden

      1

      TIME IS TICKING

      Danny sat in numbed silence, staring in disbelief at the lifeless body of his beloved wife, Alicia. Scrambled thoughts cascaded through his tortured mind—She was only fifty-two…—So many things left undone…—So many words left unspoken…—Why did she have to leave so soon?

      Bereft and confused, Danny was faced with a life-altering decision—to retreat into self-pity, regret and bitterness or to stir up the dying embers of his own dreams so that he could do all the things he said one day he would.

      Death has a way of putting everything in proper perspective. Movies like The Bucket List, and songs like, Live like You Were Dying, are portraits of the essence of terminal living—catalyzing life through the knowledge of death.

      However, it’s crucial to grasp that we don’t need to wait till we get the news that we’re dying before we begin to really live the life we always dreamed. Let me give you a newsflash—all of us have already received the news. We are all going to die. The question is—are we going to really live while we have the chance?

      That’s what terminal living is all about—living life at its best—to the full. People are often justifiably

      concerned about whether there is life after death. But the question we need to ask and examine today is—Will there be life before death? That’s terminal living.

      Average Life Expectancy

      Sometimes complacency—the enemy of terminal living—settles on us like a dense fog that clouds our vision and saps our passion. We need the stark light of reality to penetrate the haze in order for us to comprehend the gravity of our condition. The purpose of the statistics below is to awaken your slumbering passion, heighten your dissatisfaction with the status quo, and cause you to shake off complacency so you can experience life at a higher level.

      A recent report stated that the average life expectancy of North Americans had risen to 80.4 years from 77.8 years in the previous year’s study. However, the same report revealed that the actual average age of death was only 74.2
