What if Today was your Last Day?

How would you live today if you knew it was your last day? What would you want to do? How would you want to feel inside? Who would you want to spend it with?

Of course, the idea of this being your last day just might be making you feel a bit uncomfortable, but in reality, we all don't really know if there really will be a tomorrow.

I know how it is to lose loved ones in a split second, either through a tragedy or through natural causes.  The fact is, we never know when we personally are going to move on from this life, nor do we know when our loved ones will. This reality that has hit me so harshly, has actually enlightened me and given me a different viewpoint on life that many others may not have.

Personally, I live every day, as if there is no tomorrow. Of course this is meant in the positive sense - to live life and be happy for whatever time we have been blessed with. Relish your relationships and loved ones for as long as you have them.

Of course, while "living everyday as if there is no tomorrow", we must balance the realities and our own responsibilities, but we must also ask ourselves the questions in my opening paragraph.

Whatever the day holds, do something that makes you happy and puts your heart and mind in a good place. Whoever you interact with or spend time with, make it as positive as you can. Tell your loved ones how you feel about them. Surround yourself with the people that make you feel happy. Make a positive impression on someone in some way. Make someone smile. Most of all, let yourself smile.

At the end of the day, try to release any anger and negative emotions before falling asleep. Resolve as many things as you can, at least in your mind, by the end of the day. You'll find you will sleep better and more restfully.

So, to sum it up, being that life is short for ourselves and our loved ones, live today as best as possible and try not to take anything for granted. You will truly feel better inside every day and have a new outlook on life.
