If you live into your mid-eighties, which is approximately life expectancy, then you’d live for around 1000 months.
Today I heard someone on a podcast, when talking about a significant event, mention the place it fell within their life calendar.
I like the concept of having a life calendar.
I’m a fan because this viewpoint can give you important perspective.
For example, your years of schooling - 13 years - on your life calendar, take up 8 weeks of an annual life calendar.
A university degree encases around 3 weeks.
In light of current world events, when viewed upon the framework of an annual life calendar, we are in the midst of a bad week.
When it comes to calamities, how would we view them if we transferred our problems to a life calendar perspective?
Do we, in our current life, think that our life will be irreversibly damaged due to one bad week?
Do we imagine that things will never improve?
Do we, in the middle of a busy month of life, think that their won’t be rest or a payoff at the end?
When we remember that current events, which seem large at the time, are relatively small when viewed against our life calendar then this perspective can help us get through and see that there’s a lot more living to do on the other side.
