You know that saying "life is short?" It really isn't. 365/366 days in a year/leap year. Approx. 525,000 minutes in a year. If you are reading this, you are most likely at least 9.450.000 minutes old (18 years approx.). That's a lot of numbers. Does that justify how long or short life really is? Not one bit, because in all honesty, life really is short if you're doing it right. Time flies is the expression, this means time goes fast. I can personally say that the last 8ish months have been an amazing experience, but a slight blur.
The expression really says "time flies when you're having fun" which I have been and I hope you have as well. If you're not having fun, change that. We really have no idea when our last day will approach. We should not bother wondering when it will be nor should we be concerned with how it will happen. JUST LIVE.
A patient was recently diagnosed with a stage 4 tumor above their heart. 24 years old. This should make you think 2 things:
1. I hope the best for this person.
2. I should start living and be grateful for all I have.
Stop and appreciate the beauty life and the universe has surrounded you with. Family, love, good, nature, animals. The ability to breathe, smile, laugh, think. Getting mad is not worth it (this is something we can all work on). Be sad, but not for long. Live for those moments that make you see God (or whoever/whatever you believe in) in them.
Today, tomorrow, and the rest of your days, I ask that you live with appreciation, reverence, compassion, selflessness, and vitality. People will hurt you, lie to you, not be there for you. It's ok. Forgive and move forward. LIVE and remember to LOVE YOURSELF and YOUR LIFE.
