Would You Open the Envelope?

If you are handed an envelope that reveals to you the date you die, would you open it? Sometime ago I came across this conversation and it got me thinking whether that is something I would be interested in knowing. What happens when I find out I only have ten years to live? Will I do things differently? Probably not. If I learn that I have a rather short time left, I would be too unbothered to want to make any difference, after all, I’m here shorter than I expected. 

Some people said they would begin to make everything count. Well, maybe. But I feel like I am already making everything and every moment count. I’m not sure I’ll make a lot of changes but maybe move with a little more intention. 

One thing I’m certain won’t be doing is working harder at becoming financially stable. I will continue to do what I’m doing but I won’t be putting in more effort just because I’ll be gone in ten years. In fact, I think it makes more sense to work harder to attain all your dreams when you know you’ll have enough time to reap the fruits of your labor. 

Anyways, I will not be opening the envelope. I have fought hard to become someone who is no longer obsessed with controlling the outcome of their life, I’m not about to pressure myself with truth of the unknown.
