Hiya SCG,
inspiration to ship today’s post came from a movie The Deer Hunter, which blew me away. It made me truly think about the words of the main hero Michael (Robert de Niro), when he said: “You have to think about one shot. One shot is what it’s all about. A deer’s gotta be taken with one shot.”
You might be pondering, what is that inspiring in that quote, right? You are not a hunter anyhow, right? Please, allow me to share with you, what “hit” me straight into the core, when watching this must-watch movie.
***
[WARNING]<<< Please read it before reading this shipment >>>
Some of you might find this blog post too gray or morbid, but actual aim of this shipment is exactly the opposite. It is a call for celebration of life, it is a call for gratitude that we are alive, it is a call for marching fearlessly on our time-limited journey called life. However, feel free to skip it.
***
“One Shot Is What It’s All About” and It’s = Life
*
Life is a one shot trial.
that’s why:
“Be grateful for having a chance to BE, cherish every breath!”
*
What we do, what we say, what we feel – cannot be undone, paused, reversed, repeated, experienced ever again.
that’s why:
“Be conscious about yourself and experience here & now with all your senses. It will never come again.”
*
One unfortunate “shot” = event, accident, mere coincidence have power to turn your life around, in the best positive way or the most disastrous way.
that’s why:
“Be open and face those “shots”- have trust in yourself that you can handle them. Remember that everything shall pass.”
*
We were born to die and every day we are getting closer to it – all of us, even just born infant just agreed to set out on a journey to death.
that’s why:
“Acknowledging the fact, how fragile our lives are can be huge energy booster and fear killer, when deciding whether to do something “risky” or not. Just do it, guys!”
*
SCG,
just be who you truly are, there is no time to do it later. Make difference and leave dent in this universe, you have got all you need for it ; your conscious mind and loving heart.
Have a super cool start of a week.

Inspiring Shipments (#IS) by Ivana Sendecka

Yes, I’ll. 😉
Every body have a super cool week.

True in all its nudity – we have one shot to live (this) life. On one side scary, on the other one so exciting. Time is running – one thing we can’t steer our way – it always goes on.
But we should remember that every moment we can steer this “life-bullet” of ours to another direction, that we like – it’s never too late. Thanks Ivana, for putting this post – it exactly sums up the thoughts I have been having recently after watching Invictus and Dead Poets Society 🙂
Lets shoot!
Hey Marek,
this is exactly how I wanted to finish this shipment “Let’s shoot!”, I like how we are aligned!;-)
Super cool.
Transform your thoughts into actions and you will not want to live any other way, ever;)
See you soon,
i.
Wow, you gave me a kick with this shipment..I should read it every morning to start the day with the right focus, thanks 🙂
😉 Yay! I love to kick;-)
Cheers Tom;-)
P.S.: You can print and stick this shipment on your wall, hm?;-)
Yeah I did that today morning 😉 I just don’t stick it on the wall but put it in other right place
Oh, boy…I am so humbled by it, Tom! Thank you.
If you have a picture of it, please share – I would love to publish you as an example of do-er! If you don’t mind.
Thank you for leading by example!
Tomas is absolutely right. Please, dear friends, I`ve prepared short instructions for you as to what to do next after reading this blogpost.
1. print out the post
2. hang above the bed or stick on fridge
3. be sure to read the whole post every morning
right after you get up
4. THINK, LIVE, ENJOY!
And to finish (I don`t like shooting at all, sorry) let`s maybe say “Happy living!”
😉
LOL, Zuzi!;-)
I will second you on exchanging shooting for living;-)
Why don’t you send us picture of your new sticker on the fridge or above bed, then?;-) As I believe, that the best way to inspire new behavior is to lead by example. Just sayin’
😉
i.
True:) The only problem is, I don`t have a printer at home 😀
Why don’t you write it just by hand. I always do so. My wall is filled with stickers like this https://ivanasendecka.com/category/quotes-for-your-wall/
Just an idea;-)
you`re right again:) I like to use post-its for this purpose:) and many others, of course;)

Salam Ivana, (i want to share some of my childhood memories)
when I was a child ,I was thinking that “WHAT IS LIFE”…. I spent most of the time with my grandma… In past i questioned to my Grandma that “WHAT IS LIFE”…===>[History Behind that Question==> (**** I know it was a very silly question.. ,why i questioned this to my grandma because one day my grandpa gave me a gift and when i opened that gift,a paper was there WITH DAIRY and on that paper it was written that “THIS IS THE BEST GIFT THAT I CHOOSE FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU CAN PUT UR LIFE’s SORROWS AND HAPPINESS AND ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO DARE TO U MOST…. AND YOUR PURPOSE OF CREATION”. When i read that sentence , i didn’t understand what he wants to say.. I took that piece of paper to my grandma and said to her,”GRANDMA I DIDN’T GET,WHAT HE WANTS TO SAY”.. When she read that sentence, she smile and said “ISSI ITS ABOUT LIFE AND YOUR AIM IN LIFE”….. And this time too i didn’t get what she want to teach me…. So then i said that question which i mentioned before… ***) ]…. She said*,
1) “ISSI YOUR DAD,MOM,GRANDPA,ME AND EVERY FAMILY MEMBERS LOVES YOU SO MUCH… THIS IS LIFE…. MORAL: LOVE IS LIFE”
2) “YOU SEE WHEN SOMEONE SUFFERING IN OUR HOME THEN EVERYONE WORRIED ABOUT THAT PERSON…MORAL: FEELING THE SUFFERINGS OF OTHERS IS LIFE..”
3) “ME(GRANDMA) AND UR GRANDPA ARE FRIENDS AND LOVE EACH OTHER…. SO I TOLD YOU THAT LOVE IS LIFE THEN.. FRIENDSHIP IS ALSO LIFE(MORAL)…”
4) “YOUR DAD WORK HARD FOR YOU AND THE FAMILY… MORAL: HARD WORK IS LIFE”
5) “ISSI YOU SEE EVERY THING HAS SOME PURPOSE E-G TOYS USE FOR PLAYING, CHAIR USE TO SIT ETC.. SO WE ALSO HAVE PURPOSE WHICH YOU’LL FIND IN FUTURE…”
6) “WHEN SOMEONE LOOK TOWARD YOU WITH SMILE , YOU FEEL ,THAT PERSON LOVES YOU A LOT… MORAL: SMILE IS A LIFE”
7) “ISSI NO THING IN THIS WORLD IS EVERLASTING…. MORAL: THINK ABOUT DEATH ALWAYS SO THAT U CAN KNOW ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF UR CREATION..”
……. (CONTINUED 8 points remaining i think i becomes very big comment.. Actually bigger than ur post… thats why i skip that 8 points… 😉 lol)
*ACTUALLY THESE POINTS I FIRST WROTE IN THE DAIRY WHICH MY GRANDPA GAVE ME…. I’M REALLY MISSING HIM… 😦 MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE… 🙂
Nice post….. It reminds me my beautiful past……… 🙂
