This is something we already know, but we don’t think about it enough. And we need to. You’re going to die.
It may be tomorrow. It may be next week. Next year. 5 years from now, 10, 30….it doesn’t matter. You’re going to die.
What does matter….is how are we going to spend those last few breaths?
Are they gonna be spent in regret; of all the things we wish we did? The places we could have gone? Thinking about the person we would be if we were just given a little bit more time?
Or are you gonna be grateful? Grateful for the life you’ve lived. The person you’ve become. Grateful for the experiences and the impact you were able to have on our loved ones.
That’s what matters.
You see, we don’t think about this enough. We think we’re here forever. We get lost in the day to day routine we have for ourselves. Wake up, go to work, get home, make some dinner, and then sit in front of a TV or play video games for a few hours.
Until we go to sleep and do it all over again the next day.
When the weekends come, we get so drunk to forget about the work week that we wake up sick the next morning. We don’t wanna move and then we waste another day.
We waste so much time, so much of the precious little bit of time we have in this life by doing these things.
And when our time finally comes, we’re filled with regret of not using our time better. We end up wishing for more. But we can’t get more time. It’s over. We take our last breath.
There’s more to this life than what most of us are experiencing right now. We just have to choose how we use our time better.
So wake up Every. Single. Day. With this end in mind. Use every minute you have to live the life you dream about. Because we only have one shot. And it’s usually over before we know it.
