Passion for life can overcome death. I know this is true. I have proof. He is sitting right opposite me as I type.

If you have read Nipples to Kneecaps–to die or not to die with cancer you will know that I am telling the truth.

But the question is ....do you have a passion for life?

If you were told tomorrow that you had three months to live ,would you be able to grab your passion and hang on it it?

Would you know what the three most important things in your life were?

I was lucky. When Steve was told he had cancer, his immediate response was to list the three most important things he wanted to achieve in his life time. We had never discussed this previously. For Steve, his three wishes all involved being around for many more years.

That in itself helped to keep him going–even when everyone around him, family, friends, doctors and nurses, believed 100% that he would die imminently.

Take this opportunity right now to list the three most important things, dreams or achievements that you want to follow through within your life time. Seriously–write them down. These three things are the root of your passion.

Real passion–the kind connected with truly living life rather than surrendering to death—may not be to own a sports car, become CEO of a successful company or live in a mansion (although for some of you those may indeed be valid dreams!).

The passions that really count, when the scythe of death hangs over you, will most likely relate to being with the people you love and to the experiences in life that you know are out there waiting for you.

Claiming you own life-over-death passions is what will lead you to achieve the impossible.

Passion led us here to 2018.

Where will your passion for life lead you?
