The doctors at time said he would be lucky to live to 16. In other words, his time was limited.

And this was his secret. He knew truth. He knew what we all have such a hard time accepting: Life is short.

You can't just say it, you can't just hear it. You have to know it, believe it, and feel it.

Because Darin knew his time was limited, he packed as much life as he could into time he had. But he had an unfair advantage. He knew, without a doubt, his time was limited.

There was no fooling himself, no putting it off. It was now or never.

And only when you get that kind of feeling inside you will you enjoy same remarkable life. So how can you do it?

'WHAT CAN I DO?' To begin, use Bobby Darin's story. Think about what you would do if you knew you only had a few more years to go for it.

Think about that right now. What could you do if you had that kind of mindset? Where would you be right now if you packed as much life as you could into time you had?

Next, I want you to think of your own personal example of this idea. Because Bobby Darin isn't a major figure in your life, his story won't make as much of an impact as someone or something much closer to you.

When you think about life being short, who or what comes to mind? Use that idea, focus on it. Let it drive you to make most of your time.

Life feels long and passes quickly. Don't be fooled. Get out there and start packing more life into what time you have.

REASON FOUR: Creativity stretches your comfort zone. Practicing a creative skill, takes time, concentrated effort and consistent work. I know that I feel angry as I progress through first phrase of creativity process. I struggle to admit that I need to practice, that I don’t know everything, that I don’t need help and that  in spite of these thoughts, I can still make progress using my skills.  I am not comfortable when I fail to meet my expectations. When I complete one creative project. I know that I’ve done a good job.  My next challenge is to patiently repeat first phase of mechanical  learning for as long as it takes, to complete my next job. My reward is to become more comfortable using my creative skills ,over and over again.

REASON FIVE:  Creativty  is fun. I love looking at numerous possibilities. It’s wonderful to be able to freely interpret and produce a creative product.
