Transcript – “Somebody Should Tell Us, Right At The Start of Our Lives, That We Are Dying”

Michael Landon once said:

“Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.”


Isn’t it amazing… We all know we are dying. We all know there is a chance there won’t be a tomorrow… yet none of us really live like we know that.

Too few of us really appreciate each moment like we know that we are here for a short time only.
 Too few of us live a life we want to live… a life we are proud to live.
 Too few of us live with PURPOSE, and MEANING.

Thich Nhat Hanh said:

“People say walking on water is a miracle, but to me walking peacefully on earth is the real miracle”


Too few of us are walking around this earth frantic, stress-filled and meaning-less – we should open our eyes and REALIZE we’re not here for long, and we are all ONE.

We should practice the PEACE we want to see. Show the LOVE we want to FEEL and BE the person we want to BE.

Wayne Dyer said
“Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.”

It’s a choice. It’s a decision. We are living in the same world and some are living in a loving way and some in a hostile way.
 We’re not here for a long time, let’s make it a joy-filled time.


You want more time to yourself? Good. Spend more time by-yourself. If it is important to you, it’s important to your world. It will make you better, and that will make those around you better too.

We should remind ourselves that we are all dying. Never should we carry the burden of hate, of regret, or disappointment. We ONLY have this moment and this is the only moment we can decide to free ourselves from the past and LIVE FULLY. NOW is the only moment.


Reminding yourself that this is a temporary experience frees you from the weight of pressure.

Here’s a daily affirmation you can try to bring more POSITIVITY TO YOUR LIFE:


Today, I will search for blessings.
Today, I will search for things I can be grateful for.
I know I have a lot to be thankful for.
I know my life is full of blessings, full of meaning and full of purpose.
I am thankful for my LIFE.
I know I will am on this earth for a short time…
I know I can never know just how short that short time will be…
But I do promise to live my best life while I am here.


I know my physical body is dying… but I AM LIVING
I am LOVING MY LIFE
I am FEELING EVERY BLESSING
I AM NOTICING EVERY MIRACLE
I am taking time to know what is important to me…
I am taking time to understand and live my purpose here on earth.
My life is FULL OF MEANING.
I live in a loving universe.
A PEACEFUL WORLD. Because I have a peaceful, loving heart.
I will walk peacefully on this earth. With optimism. With positivity and joy in my heart.
 I will BE the person I want to BE no matter how short this life might be.
I will not stress over things I can not control.
 I will look for the GOOD.
I know it’s always there.
I will look for the smiles.
I will feel the blessings.
I WILL LIVE. TODAY.

Self-image can have a powerful influence over our life choices, often without conscious thought. Have you ever wanted to achieve something but can’t seem to get out of your own way? Maybe you’ve tried everything but still can’t seem to silence your own inner critic to breakthrough. While you might think it’s something externally that is stopping you it could be your own inner critic. As Dr. Maxwell Maltz said, “A person cannot rise above how he sees himself.”

If you want to change your life in any area you need to start with introspection. You need to be aware of your thoughts and feelings you experience about yourself. If you want to achieve new levels of success you might need to retrain how you see yourself. As Dr. Wayne Dyer said, “As you think, so shall you be.” 

Here are three life-changing lessons from the personal development classic, Psycho-Cybernetics, to help you think better and create a positive self-image. 

Avoid Worrying at All Costs

Our brains are thousands of years old and sometimes that can be a problem with achieving your goals. It actively strives to help you avoid pain or fear at all costs. Pain used to mean avoiding wild animals and was a helpful mechanism but today fear comes in different forms. This could be fear of failure, disappointment or embarrassment.

But sometimes you need to experience these emotions to leave your comfort zone and grow. A common way to experience these types of pain in today’s world is worrying. As Jack Canfield said, “Worrying is just negative goal setting.”

In the book, Dr. Maltz discusses how worrying can have negative, long-term effects on your self-image. When you worry about an undesirable future you create a negative image in your mind. This might lead you to attach negative emotions such as fear, disappointment, or anxiety to the image. If done consistently you will create a negative limiting belief about yourself without realizing it.

The next time you find yourself worrying stop and focus on turning the situation into a positive one with your imagination. 

Use Your Imagination

The opposite of worrying is using your imagination to create a new, positive self-image.

Have you noticed as you grow up your imagination seems to dwindle with age? As a kid, I’m sure you had an incredible imagination. But as you get older and go through life it’s easy to let heartbreak, disappointment, and failure get in the way of using your imagination. It’s easy to get stuck in the “practicality” of the real world. 

Dr. Maltz says that you must continue to visualize and use your imagination regardless of your age. He recommends a technique he created known as “Theatre of the Mind.” With this method, you set 15-30 minutes per day to visualize your ideal future.

Start by closing your eyes and relaxing in a comfortable environment. Now, imagine some of your best memories from the past. Think of anything that makes you feel happy, accomplished, or joyful. Once you experience this feeling look ahead to your future. Spend five minutes and imagine three different goals as if they have already had been achieved. Get specific and imagine how it will feel, smell, and taste when you reach your goals.

Practice on a Consistent Basis  

Learning to visualize yourself completing your goals might not be easy at first. You might hear your own inner critic giving you all the reasons why you can’t accomplish these goals. Choose not to listen.

Let those negative thoughts pass and focus on a positive future for yourself. The main key to turning the visualizations into reality is to make it a habit. Studies have shown that habits take anywhere from 21-35 days straight to create a new habit. 

By replacing worrying with positive visualizations you can reshape your self-image over time. You can eliminate negative beliefs and become the person who can accomplish anything you want in life. Start making this a daily habit and watch your life change forever.
