Imagine if the first words you heard in your newborn ears were “guess what, you’re dying!” The thing is, you ARE dying. Geez, sounds kinda morbid doesn’t it?
Well, it only sounds morbid if you are the type of person who is in denial: Death is a fact of life. We consider ourselves immortal, that nothing can touch us. Yet we all know of someone who was suddenly taken through illness or accident.
I’m not suggesting you should run out and be flippant with your life by taking unnecessary risks or becoming involved in dangerous activities. I AM saying that if there is something you really want to do, do it! Don’t let silly excuses get in your way. Yes, work for the future, AND play, enjoy, create right now!
Action – Do one thing today that, until now, you have been putting off.
And remember, there really are only so many tomorrows.
I love this!! Thanks for this great perspective!!
