If today you were told .. ?

Recommended Posts

You have 1 month to live and you could do anything .. what would that be? And why would that or those things be important to you?

 

For me ..

it would be to visit as many 3rd world countries I could to offer aid ..

If i am dying what would it matter if they were contagious ..

I would want to live and see the world ..

at the end through the world's most innocent eyes .

and I would hope i could dive in areas I had not seen before during my time there LOL

Ok i know that was a selfish remark .. hey I'm honest

I actually live my life like I was dying. No regrets, do what I want to do, see who I want to see.

 

However, I'd gather my family around close in a tropical paradise and tell them each day how much I love them. Swim, play, drink, listen to music and have lots of dogs and cats around me all the time.

If I was told I had one month to live I would want to spend as much time as I could with my family.... I would want them to know how sorry I am for letting them down and tell them how much I love them...

 

I would want to thank the many people in my life who have been there for me often when I probably did not deserve their love and support.

 

I would want to reach out to the some friends who I have become more distant with and reconnect to ensure that they knew that I appreciate that I did not always make it easy to be my friend but that truly value them in my life and thank them for their friendship.

 

If i was told I only had a month to live earlier in my life I think I would have been panicked and mad and upset at everything I would lose and not get to do.... but at this point in my life I have come to understand very clearly that life without love and happiness is not really life... that living with regret and pain and grief is a far worse fate then dying.... we all die at some point.

 

Just my Opinion

"If Today Was Your Last Day"

 

 

My best friend gave me the best advice

He said each day's a gift and not a given right

Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind

And try to take the path less traveled by

That first step you take is the longest stride

 

If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past (I always thought they said LEAVE OLD BITCHES IN THE PAST)

Donate every dime you have?

If today was your last day

 

Against the grain should be a way of life

What's worth the prize is always worth the fight

Every second counts 'cause there's no second try

So live like you'll never live it twice

Don't take the free ride in your own life

 

If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce old memories

Would you forgive your enemies?

Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?

Swear up and down to God above

That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day

 

If today was your last day

Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?

You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars

Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes

'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life

Let nothin' stand in your way

Cause the hands of time are never on your side

 

If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

 

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce old memories

Would you forgive your enemies?

Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?

Swear up and down to God above

That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day

Hang out. For me there would no point to running around. I'd eat good food, drink some wine have some chats and laughs and be chill. Which is pretty much how I live now and quite enjoy it.

 

No right or wrong answer here as it's quite individual

 

Peace

I always expect to die tomorrow. If I knew I had a month, I wouldn't worry about travel or objects; more about relationships.

 

There are some favourite restaurants I'd visit, and a few SPs I'd schedule some time with so I could have a few last special experiences. But mostly I'd spend a lot of time with the friends and family who have played meaningful parts in my life.

 

Then... off to the oblivion that's always been waiting there, just around the corner.
