This is the only time we can be absolutely sure we have – this very moment, right now. Anything could happen to us at any time – there are no guarantees. We expect to live a certain lifespan but there is absolutely no way of knowing for sure what will happen.
It is strange but true that it is often the people who know they’re going to die who really do the most living! Given a year to live, they suddenly they decide not to put their lives on hold one more day. They do the things they always wanted to but kept putting off. We’ve all heard stories like this.
These people get more living done than many a person who lives a full lifespan. And more importantly, they live with more joy, more fulfilment, more richness.
Often it’s also the people who lose something important who then live life to the full. I was told once by a blind man that going blind was the best thing that happened to him. Up till then he had not been a happy man. After going blind he decided to live life to its fullest, and he did.
Many people who’ve gone through a misfortune will say later that they are grateful for what they received because it helped them to see that they were wasting their lives on greed, dissatisfaction, bitterness, lethargy, etc. They replaced these negative emotions with gratefulness, joy, peace, tranquillity, love and appreciation.
Those of us fortunate enough to be blessed with good health and all our faculties are the ones who tend to waste them. Make the decision now to live this moment to its fullest, and you will see – live this day as you mean to live all your days – financially, in terms of happiness, relationships, health etc. – and you will see, tomorrow will take care of itself!
Make today a ‘model day’ and soon all your days will be that way. Take care of today and tomorrow will take care of itself!
