18 Summers.
Manage episode 480688672 series 3327267
Have you ever considered how many summers you have left to enjoy in your lifetime? This thought-provoking episode explores the concept of "18 Summers," a book originally meant for parents but filled with wisdom applicable to everyone. The title refers to the limited number of summers parents have with their children before they venture into adulthood – but the underlying message resonates universally.
If you're fortunate enough to live until 80, that's just 80 summers, 80 Christmases, and 80 New Year's Eves. Rather than creating panic, this realization invites us to embrace presence. How are you making this season, this day, this moment count? I share why experiences consistently outvalue material possessions in our lives. The expensive gadgets fade from memory, while road trips, lazy beach days, inside jokes, and Sunday pancakes create the rich tapestry of a meaningful life. These connections require no money – only our presence.
And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)! All you have to do is:
