On Krista Tippett's podcast with Atul Gawande, they spoke about "What matters in the End". Asking, "What does a good day look like?"
What is interesting about this conversation, is that we often (as we get older) put our end of life wishes down; whether we want life support etc.
What is rarely asked, "What is a good day for you?"
And, not only should this be asked as we near the end of our life; but everyday.
In the end, what will matter is can you still live your good day?
Do you want a clear mind, less pain, more days, or more good days?
My good days consists of inner peace, contentment, art, activity, new adventures, learning, reading, listening to podcasts, being outside. And yet a good day would be doing one of these.
It isn't how long we live; but how good are our days.
