“If” vs. “When”
There is an important language distinction when we talk about hard truths, and most of the time they come in the form of “if” vs. “when”.
It is not “if” we die, but “when” we will die. Not “if” we will ever lose someone important to us, but “when”. Not “if” we will ever lose some form of physical ability, but “when”.
Keeping these facts in the forefront of our minds means we have a shorter distance to fall when we experience these changes in our lives, We’re not saying you should think hard thoughts all day long, but let them live alongside the good thoughts so they’re not strangers when they show up later.
Awesome side effect: it will also put you in a better position to understand what others might be going through, making you a more empathetic human being, hooray!
