The power of a song On Saturday, a high school classmate posted a music video on Facebook. He put up the group Nickelback’s “If Today Was Your Last Day.” The lyrics talk of not holding back because time is not on our side. Every day is a gift and not a given. “Don’t take the free ride in your life,” one line of the song says. What adds punch to this song is the story lines in the video. A group of people grab several trash bags. Two suspicious-looking men stand on a bridge. A well-dressed man robs a bank. It turns out the trash bags are filled with red jackets with different messages on the backs. The group passes them out in a busy downtown area. The two men on the bridge release a bag full of confetti, which also have printed messages, positive ones. And our bank robber hands out all the money to people in need. Do not rob a bank, but paying kindness forward is a wonderful thing. One random act of kindness can easily cause a wonderful chain reaction. Most important is realizing right now is all that we have. We cannot change the past and we cannot worry about the future. The choice is yours.
