I really enjoyed this piece. Breath of fresh air to counter to all the "life hacks" and all the career hacks I've been dispelling in my Notes lately. It reminded me of a close family member who has gone blind, can't walk, has seen countless doctors, and all have come up with "medical mystery". In the meantime, they are in the process of selling a prized muscle car and giving away his golf gear (balls, bags, clubs, etc). He said something so profound to me the other day, "So this is what it's like to experience death. All your processions have been sold and you no longer get to enjoy them." We can all imagine this day, when our books are given away, our cars, our golf clubs, and our home plus any assets sold to help our loved ones continue on. It's a humbling thought that most of us refuse to put in our minds.
