If only life was like 'Marioworld', maybe things would have been better...maybe not. Either ways you'd have 5 more lives to your account and dying won't have been a dreaded phenomenon.
Quite silly as it sounds, the painful fact is each day is minus 1 from your life's bank account till you draw the last breath.
The great poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his poem 'Psalm of Life' described our hearts as beating funeral marches to the grave, Steve Jobs described death as an educational phenomenon in his widely-watched Stanford University commencement speech video, so what exactly is my point? (Read along with me)
Every person is destined to die someday.
Nigerian Artiste, Asa in her song 'Tomorrow' sang these words that really sank,
...when I die someday, will I sit in heavenly places,
singing Halleluyah with an angel on the piano?
or will I be a contribution to the earth, the trees, the grasses,
as tomorrow slowly passes...
So my question is this, if you knew for certain you would die tomorrow, what would you do today?
The paycheck wouldn't matter, the argument could wait for later, hustling would not be top priority, you'd want to make things right with old friends, get close to family...and so on.
Things that never really mattered before would now matter, because the fact that you have just one day left to live would put your priorities in perspective. (so what's the point I hear you say?)
Utilize the power of the 'Now', let the past be what it is...past, never rely on things you can't see in the future however pleasant but hope for the best...and as for the present...always do and act.
Strive to be your best today as if tomorrow never existed.
Get your 3 dimensions in order:
Bodywise: Eat healthy and exercise
Soulwise: Develop and Know thyself!
Spiritwise: Never! Ever! joke with the mmost expensive, yet free gift of salvation. God is prime in EVERYTHING.
In summary, never let your life depend on things that never last (money, fame, possesion).
Appreciate them when they come but let God be the sole factor on which you rely.
I end with this quote:
“If Christ is the center of your life, the circumference will take care of itself”
