Live this day as if it were your last.
I know we've heard this a lot of times actually and we hear it almost every day but we don't really pay attention to it.
Or better yet I don't pay attention to it.
What does that mean?
Why?
Why do we have to live our days or this day as if it were our last day?
Why?
The question is simple and it's easy.
We never know what's going to happen tomorrow and we faced it.
We faced it in March or a few months back when everybody had to quarantine themselves and we didn't know what was going to happen next.
That was when we started getting anxious,
Stressed out,
Worried because we hadn't lived our lives as if they were our last life.
We live every day on this automatic pilot that we don't even admire what's next to us.
We don't admire that short walk that we have and we're not grateful of those little things.
So live this day as if it were your last.
It's something that I try to live by.
I mean just ask yourselves if you were to die tomorrow would you be happy with the life that you lived?
Did you reach your goals?
Did you learn what you had to learn?
Did you do what you wanted to do?
What you wanted to do?
Learn what society asked you to do.
Did you actually enjoy that life that you were blessed with?
Ask yourselves.
Look back.
Are you listening to that inner voice,
That inner child or that spiritual guide,
However you want to call it?
Are you doing things that actually make you happy?
So for example are you playing that sport that you like?
Or just even going to the movies because you like to do it,
Not because somebody else likes to do it or not because society told you to do it.
Are you happy with that 9 to 5 job?
Are you doing something else that will make you happier?
The choice is yours.
So that famous phrase,
Live your life as if it were your last.
Have you been doing it?
I'm going to give you a couple of seconds just to close your eyes and ask yourselves what would you really like to do?
Or what's that hobby that you've always wanted to do or that something that's in your bucket list?
Do something for yourself.
Live that life that you've always wanted to live and don't worry,
Someone is always going to judge you and criticize you and that's okay.
But as long as you're happy and you're doing what you're supposed to do and what you want to do,
That's all that matters.
So close your eyes and just think back or think about what you want to do,
What your inner child has always wanted to do and do it.
If you want to play with toy cars,
Do it.
If that makes you happy,
But do something that makes you happy.
Live your day as if it were your last.
Thank you so much for listening and remember to always use the hashtag Vmindfulness.
Namaste.
