Live like there's no tomorrow
Sunday, April 3, 2011
With the people we love, we don't want to miss out on any chance to be with them. When we find an end to something, then do we cherish it more. It's value goes up as supply, or lifetime, cos down. But that's the problem with humans. We treat things as though they were infinitely going to exist, and live like there's surely to be a tomorrow. We take things, and sadly, people for granted. Fortunately, or unfortunately, many of us have the grace of final few moments to make amends of whatever is left of our mistake, for example the diagnosis of terminal illness of a loved one s. Yet for some, they don't have that privilege or chance to redeem themselves, and precious things are forcefully taken away by choice, leaving only regrets in it's empty place; one of the worst things to have in life. Like the recent disasters, many don't even have a second chance. Don't waste it.What if today was your last day? It would be the most important day of your life. What if you woke up the next day and found yourself barely awake. It would be a bonus. And what if we had a third chance, a fourth chance, and so on. The value of that bonus would be depreciated and soon, we would be back to living as did before.If we lived as though we had rights, nothing would be worth anything. If we lived like we deserved nothing, everything would mean so much more. This isn't just mind tricks to make us feel better. Truly, how much of what we had really belonged to us. By hard work, some might argue, but many out there are working harder than any of us yet are having lesser than they rightfully deserved. All the more does all these things we thought should be ours be given to someone else. But no, we were assigned to it, and we should make good stewardship of what was bestowed to us by grace. Live like there's no tomorrow. Leave no chances, and treasure everything.Labels: life, thoughts

Not-so-average teen, deep thinker, perfectionist with quirky randomness. Trained in the art of sarcasm and nonsensical logic.
Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,
spreading the love of God as how He first loved us
==============================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
