LIFE IS JUST BUT A VAPOR If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you will most certainly be right. It’s so true that our tomorrow is not guaranteed. And this should make an impression on us with our every new dawn. We should actually ask ourselves if today was the last day of our life, would we want to do what we are about to do today? And whenever the answer is “NO” for too many days in a row, change something. An encounter with the grim reaper is an important reminder that helps us make big choices in life. This is because almost everything- all external expectation, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure- all these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. And a reminder that we’re all going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking we have something to lose. #YOLO. Today I mourn two beautiful souls who fought bravely to survive but succumbed to an ailment. It’s true no one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven still don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is an inevitable destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely, the single best invention of life. It is life’s change agent. It clears out the ‘old’ to make way for the ‘new’. Right now the new is us, but someday not long too long from now, we will gradually become the old and be cleared away. (It’s a harsh reality). We are on borrowed time, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped in living with the results of other folk’s thinking. Don’t let the noises of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And the most important, follow your heart and live in the moment. Everything else is passing by damn fast
