Imo I think his actions were of a person who knew or thought his days were numbered, but who I am to say.
In the end all of our day's are numbered, this is something I have struggled with though. On three different occassions my family was told that they should be thinking about final arrangements, but I have thus far made it.
According to the doctors there is about a 60% chance of my illness coming back in the next five years, and if it does my odds of making it are terrible. For a long time I thought about this a lot, but slowly I'm moving past it.
Right now life is almost as good as it was bad at this time last year, something I never would have believed. I run my marketing business like a hedge fund in that I only get paid on results (typically 15% to 50% of the Net that I generate), and I've made more money already this year then I did any year aside from 2003 in my entire life. I've generated over $13million for other people's business so far this year, and at least 9 people are employeed because of me.
On a more personal level I've also started to see a girl that I've been crazy about for a long time. She's been beside me the entire time I was ill, even after I had to sell all of my stuff and move back in with my mom and dad because of a combo of being sick and broke. In the end I never asked her out because I did not feel like I had the right to hurt someone like that, but what I didn't realize is that she'd already bought herself a ticket and was along for the ride anyway...she just felt bad that I'd not ever said anything to her.
I finally did and I can say that I've never been happier.
In addition to my own business activities, I've also been actively helping the Republican Party of Florida, they have been able to apply some of what I do with launching new products on the Internet, and use that for campaign fundraising.
Aside from this new relationship, that is the most exciting thing going on in my life right now because it's a way that I can make a differnence. I really do want, when I die, to be able to say that my life was impactful, and not just to my own family and friends, but in a bigger way. I can't think of a way to have more impact...so right now my big thing is deciding if I'd like to more aggressively pursue this (and make a lot less money), or just kind of keep things where they are.
For anyone who's life is not what they want it to be right now, the only thing I can say is just to hold onto hope coz you just never know.
