You Don’t Only Live Once. We Live 11 Lives Before We Die.
Many of us have unconsciously lived multiple lives already.
A comic strip can make you rethink your life.
That’s what happened to me. I recently read a comic from 2012 called “You only live once.” The cartoonist explains in simple pictures why the idea of one life is a myth. In fact the idea holds us back and prevents us from trying new things.
We do what we’ve always done. Then we reach a roadblock or fall into a huge lake of quicksand. Instead of going in a new direction we try to cling to that way of life.
Blogger Anne-Laure Le Cunff redefined what the comic is trying to say. We get multiple lives within the same body before we die.
It takes about 7 years to master something. If you live to be 88, after age 11, you have 11 opportunities to be great at something.
I’m living proof of multiple lives
I’ve lived many lives. I spent my childhood mastering the drums. Every day when I got home from school I’d sit there for hours banging a drum pad to work on my drum strokes. Drums led me to DJing. I decided I liked electronic music better than rock music. (The truth is I thought my change in music taste would get me girls.)
