The average lifespan in the United States today is 27,375 days. That is deposited in your time bank when you are born. Every day you make a withdrawal of 1 day. When the days run out, you die. Your life is over.
It’s a tough fact to take in. We all will die one day. No matter how many surgeries or treatments we use to make ourselves look more youthful, the harsh reality is we’re all growing older.
One question I like to ask myself is how am I using each day that I have on this earth to make…
