What if the Mayans were right...?

It is Tuesday the 18^th December 2012 – on Friday the 21^st December 2012, the Mayan Calendar predicts that the world will end…

Now, while I am 99.99% certain that the World will NOT end on Friday, the potential for cataclysmic disaster got me thinking...

What if, just for a few minutes, it was true – that as a planet and a species we only had three days left before we were wiped out..?

Would you be worried about the things that currently preoccupy you now, would you be concerned about your weight, your bank balance, your career or what car you drive..?

Would you care who wins the game show on TV or what shenanigans the latest celebrity is up to in Hollywood…?

Probably not – if you have three days left you would probably be thinking about whom you should spend the time with; and who you need to tell that you love more than life itself.

Would you make the ‘phone call to parents, children or forgotten friends to let them know that regardless of the future you love them, care about them and at some level simply want to be with them…?

What apology would you give to that person who you know deserves it, and that you have been avoiding for too long..?

Is there a God that you should reconnect and make peace with..?

The threat of impending disaster would change our focus and attention to those things in life that are truly important and relevant – the froth of consumerism and the thin veneer of material acquisition we choose to surround ourselves with soon seem irrelevant under these conditions…

Now – if the world was to end on Friday, what would you do today…?

Whatever you choose demonstrates what is really important to you and the question we need to ask ourselves is; why wait until the end of the world to do it – do it anyway…

Make the ‘phone call, tell your children you love them, call Mom and Dad and let them know too.

Stop worrying about the future, about money and cars, or what your success will look like next year – the best way to get the Universe to laugh at you is to share your Goals with it… 

It is never the things we can predict that affect us the most – it is always the unseen or unexpected, so relax and enjoy the ride...

The World will not end on Friday – but we all have the opportunity of making it a better place as a consequence of the threat that it might… 

Happy Christmas – see you in the New Year (hopefully...!)
