What if you Died Tomorrow?
01.18.10
Would you be fulfilled?
If not now, when?
You hate your job/career and suffer every moment. Your parents wanted you to be a doctor. You wanted to be a musician. It wasn’t logical nor would it make money, so you opted to be a doctor. Your parent’s wishes fulfilled, you do your time until retirement. Finally you are free to respectably begin living your dream. But life had different plans, and instead you have a heart attack and stroke – at the same time!
Your friend calls to say they are suicidal and want to kill themselves. Half listening, you tell then you’ll stop by and see them tomorrow. (They did what they said they’d do before you got there.)
You give and give and give, and never allow anyone to give back. (You get to stay in control, but do you let yourself receive love unconditionally?)
You’re afraid you will be ridiculed when you share your idea/dream/goal. You do nothing. (The one who did it anyway goes home with the cash.)
Would you be fulfilled if you died tomorrow?
The clock is ticking, and we really don’t know when “the bell will toll for us.”
Live every day as though it and you are precious. You are.
Mix life with love. Tell people you love them – a lot. Add laughter. It makes life more fun.
Why wait until you lose weight, gain weight, get married, get divorced, take that class, get that award….
You might never get a second chance.
The choice is yours. Life life now. There really is no tomorrow.
