Live abundantly to a quality and productive Life!
In light of life’s been lost every single day around the world, doesn’t it make you stop and think ‘how certain is life?”
We are all born terminal and yet are shocked, when someone we know unexpectedly passes on. Life clocks stop suddenly, every second of every day and people continue to be amazed for some reason.
It really made me reflect yet again, how quickly a loved one could be taken away. I have lost loved ones such as; my grandparents, my parents, my youngest sibling, friends and many of my pets. They left a huge hole in my live.
The pain is endless. As time goes by, you come to terms with it and realize that there was nothing that could have been done. You just think of what a great person he/she was, and how much you miss them.
We live and go at a pace that says; we and everyone around us, will live forever. We take our loved ones for granted and forget to tell them, how much they mean to us in the frantic pace of our lives. We treat our loved
ones like; they will be there tomorrow to spend the time with them.
We live our own lives as though, we have a guarantee of a long life span, and are surprised when the aches and pains of age, rob us of the ability to do all those things that we put off for too long, and now are unable to do.
Often I think “if I had just this day to live, would I spend this time on the computer doing this?” And unequivocally the answer would be “no”. Instead, I would be talking to my family, spending quality time with
my loved ones, writing remembrance letters and thoughts to everyone.
There’s a wakeup call to be learned. We need to treat every moment of each day, as though it were our last. You never know, when it could be and sadly someday, it will be. Don’t hesitate to tell them you love them. Never leave them angry or with hurtful words. Spend as much time with them as you can and cherish them.
Cherish Life because it is short. Live every moment as if it was your last, and keeping in mind the future ahead of you. Enjoy it because each moment is scarce. We all should savour the opportunity that life and living provides today. Live abundantly to a quality and productive Life!
Enjoy the day! Stay well and safe.
