Entailing: Live Like We're Dying

I've had a lot of bad days, bad moments, and bad memories. But at the end of the day, I'm pretty sure I've had more great days, great moments, and great memories.

I feel like my life wouldn't be nearly as great if it weren't for the people in my life. Also, I feel like I don't tell them that enough either.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the amazing people I'm surrounded by every day.

When you think back on the best moments of your life, were they spent alone? Or with somebody else?

We all need time to ourselves, and time to recharge and regroup; but we are naturally drawn to other people; in friendship and in love.

Have you really thought about who you'd spend your last living day with? Or who you'd call with your last goodbyes?

Are you constantly making sure those people know you love them? And if not, how can you be so sure you'll get another chance?

We forget how fragile life really is, and that it literally could end at any moment, at any given time.

When we make decisions, we always assume we have more time; more time to apologize, make things right with someone, take back what we've done, or do what we didn't do.

But there's no way to be sure. The only thing we know we have for sure, is right now; and now; and now; etc.

If you love someone, tell them.

If you have dreams, chase them.

If you wrong someone, fix it.

If you want something, go get it.

If you aren't happy, get there.

If you have a good thing, don't throw it away.

If you have an opportunity, take it.

Don't let your life come to an end, and wish you would have lived it any other way.

With your last breath, be able to look back, smiling, and saying, "I wouldn't change a thing."
