Here’s how much time you have in your life – in Jelly Beans [video]

The challenges of this year have made many of us appreciate life differently.

It has made us grateful for many things we took for granted.

And the recent death of a close friend made me appreciate the time I have left.

It's funny how things work … The same time I came across this fascinating video which breaks down the time we have in our life counted by jellybeans.

It's definitely worth spending less than 3 minutes watching it.

Then, spend your time - wisely ...
