How short would your life have to be before you would really start living differently today?
In small scale, I relate it to having the flu. You feel like your are dying and the very next day just feeling well puts you on top of the world. The problem is that lasts a day, at most.http://www.flickr.com/photos/30253537@N04/4541386407/

Very disappointing, yes. I was angry with myself for not following through and changing how I treated and appreciated my own life. But once things went back to normal, I started taking everything for granted again. I guess it's just the human condition. We have to be faced with something scary and real to actually start living differently. I guess to answer your question, and knowing what I know about myself when I was faced with a near death experience, I'd have to say that I would really change my ways if I knew I was going to die within five years. Maybe even a year. Because as soon as I start to feel normal again, my selfish ways will make me forget that real feeling, the feeling that life is something to treasure, the feeling of regret, and the desire to have it all back for just one more chance.

M$My father passed away from a heart attack at age 54 and I am 52 right now so every year I am getting close to being as old he was when he passed. I just wonder if he would known that one day after he got up and went to work, he would have a heart attack at work and die, if he would have done anything different. Maybe he would have quit smoking. I quit a year and a half ago mostly because I coughed so much and I knew that I was probably killing myself. I don’t drink so I don’t have to reform there. I guess I could try to lose weight.. again.. but if I’m going to die anyway, why would I do that? :-)

M$With a time of fewer than twenty years, I would try to adjust my budget to retire within ten years even if it meant living more modestly. I would try to travel a bit, lodging with friends to keep costs down and say my farewells to them.
In my last year I would set up one last going away party, perhaps a renewal of my wedding vows to get the family together in one last happy get together with what little time I had left.
