My grandma asked me a question yesterday that got me thinking.
If someone walked right up to you right now and shot you on the head.
One straight shot ensuring you have zero chances of survival, would you regret anything?
Have you lived your best life?
Is there something that you lay to sleep every night and regret not doing?
She said, “We all think we have time until time runs out and we are left with is a pile of I wish I knew.”
Nobody ever thinks they are going to die and we are never in fear for our lives every day.
A man walking down the street, happy and healthy and he collapses and just like that he is gone. Heart attack.
A woman traveling home to see her kids or parents. The car she is in runs into a lorry. Just like that she is gone.
A family traveling home for the holiday on a plane and it crashes into the ocean. Just like that the whole family is gone.
Life is very fickle.
There are so many things that can happen and each day we survive it is by God’s grace.
So why not take advantage of the life we have been granted for free?
Why not live our best life each and every day?
Do not put off what you have wanted to do because you think that there is tomorrow.
Do not put off taking care of yourself because you will start tomorrow.
Tomorrow might never come.
You may go to bed today and not wake up.
My mum said something to me that has stuck with me ever since, “At the end of each day, take a moment and reflect. Ask yourself what have I accomplished today?”
Take pride in the little achievements you make. You accomplished it and every big journey starts with one step.
Be kind to everybody, not just the people you know.
Love your neighbors as you love yourself.
Exercise, even if it is just a thirty-minute walk.
Eat healthy, ditch the chips for some carrots.
Do not be too hard on yourself, everybody makes mistakes. Apologise and move on.
Do not put off tomorrow what can be done today.
Live your life in the best way you know how.
Do not aim to make other people proud, aim to make yourself proud.
At the end of each day ask, “Am I living my best life?”
And always remember our mantra:
You are Confidence.
You are Awesome.
You are Amazing.
With that wealth of knowledge, I bid you goodbye.
Until next time adios.
