Living each day as if it were to be our last, and living life to the fullest are the best ways to extract the maximum juice out of life and living. To understand the process and meaning of death is to live.
We do not have to wait till a death sentence is pronounced upon us to change our priorities and to question the way we live. Start today!
When we plan, we have to have a futuristic plan, so that too many things don’t have to be re-structured for at least a few years. But when we execute, we have to execute in such a way that every sub-task that we take up in the master plan is completed successfully without any loose ends.
Even if we are going to die then, up to the point of what has been executed, everything will be perfect and the master plan will still be there as a reference for people to follow or amend as the situation demands. This can be achieved only if we work without procrastination in every sub-task that we take up.
Often, procrastination is what takes us to poverty. Poverty is our own choice. But we are blissfully unaware of this. We feel we have not been treated right by God and that life has been too short for us to realize our dreams. If we had used all our energy in the proper channel and with clarity, we will not feel this way and we will be ever ready to die.
If we just look at the mirror everyday and tell ourselves that today is the last day in our life, we will stop procrastinating. If we do this for just a month, automatically we will start living without procrastination.
People who have had a near death experience in some way, like a narrow escape from an accident or a cure from cancer or something like that, will be able to live more fearlessly because they will know that they have nothing to lose! They will also live their lives with greater clarity and with more intelligence. Remembering that we’ll be dead soon could be the most important tool we might ever encounter to help us make the right choices in life.
Living in the now, welcoming reality will take us to a different dimension, where we will be able to use our creative energy to fulfill our true desires. Live every moment with total awareness. Enjoy this journey, this gift of life! This will automatically lead you to joy, bliss and ecstasy!
Live as though it’s your last day
