Live Like You're Dying

"Live each day as if it is your last."

I often hear that line from motivational speakers, old folks and some friends. But it never hit me until last night. I dunno what jolted me to ponder about life and death. Maybe because I was alone -- after a long time--  and I missed Mama so much. Or am I dying? Oh! NO! Not now.

It has been over a year since she was gone, but it feels like she just left. Her laughter, her smiles, her hugs and kisses, her smell and her cries as well are still all so clear to me; however, everything is intangible. It's like catching air with my hands. I can feel it but I cannot hold it in my arms.

Death is certain, we just do not know when it will happen; my sister told me that when James, my other-half-cat, died. Painstakingly, it is true. Sure thing is we will all die. We just don't know our time.

What if you'll kiss this world good bye an hour from now? a day? a month? or a year?
Are you ready? Won't you have any regrets?

Have you been true to yourself? How far have you gone in your bucket list? Do you even have one?

Live each day as if it is your last.
Personally, this means... You must live life with no inhibitions. No inhibitions, no what ifs.
Live life in its simplest form. When hungry, eat. When sleepy, sleep. When tired, rest. When bored, sing. Seriously? haha :D

Time is gold. A common quote. We often hear it or even say it. But have you even try musing over its meaning? Now, why don't you ask yourself this question, "How much time do I still have?" Can you answer that? Certainly, not. Indeed, time is precious.

If time is precious, why waste it to unimportant things? Why waste time hating instead of loving? Why waste time fooling around? Why waste time holding grudges? Why waste time breaking rules/laws? Why waste time? It shouldn't be wasted to nonsense things. Instead, time must be used to do good things, to make good things better, to make happy happiest, to improve, to laugh, to help, to care, to teach, to nurture, to reach out, to love, TO LIVE.

Time must be lived accordingly. Live with the present. You can no longer undo what has been done in the past nor you cannot control what will happen in the future. Instead of crying over the pains of the past or worrying about the future, live your now as happy as you can be.

Each of us has our OWN choice how to dance in the music of life. You can have an upbeat rhythmn, slow rock, reggae, rhythmn and blues or just dance with the hum of the wind. The bottom line is ---- have you been living life pleasing to Him? Would you be happy and proud and excited to see Him? Or would you still want to barter extra time to do things you're suppose to do and/or to finish unsettled business?

Now that you are still around reading this.. what's in your mind?

Make a bucket list and start living your dreams :)
And always, ALWAYS align your wants/wishes/dreams with His.
AND ALSO, be grateful with whatever, how little or much, you have. You are blessed!
