I’ve always been fascinated by the infamous Chicxulub meteor. You know, the one that crashed off of the Gulf Of Mexico. It abruptly ended the Cretaceous period of the planet and painfully ushered in the Paleogene period. 3 out of 4 species ended as a result of that disastrous interstellar bomb.
To think, that morning, dinosaurs – and every living being – were just chillin, eating plants (or each other), not knowing that there would be no tomorrow.
I’ve tried to imagine in what form or manner a Chicxulub-like cataclysm would look like in my life (i.e. I get sick, sudden massive car accident, heart attack, ladder fall breaking my back, etc.). I’ve also tried to visualize what effects it would have for me personally & financially. All scenarios are frightening and frankly, look unsurvivable.
My mission these last few years has been figuring out how to counter the effects of such an impact. I need to identify what facets of my existence are unsustainably fragile/dependent and I need to let go of those things. That, or I somehow need to change the fundamental nature of them so that it’s not as fragile/dependent.
I’ve taken care of one very big priority but I’ve also come to realize that it just makes the other unfinished priorities as daunting of a mountain to climb.
It turns out avoiding cataclysms is not such an easy thing.
