Living everyday as if it is your last

Living everyday as if it is your last

It is not pessimistic. I tried and found out it actually had a positive impact on me.

I am not running around and take my daily life as a check list. I can take time to think, listen, observe, absorb etc. I would not treat conversations as a routine or even a waste of time but putting my heart to it, “what can I say to benefit her?” for it could be my last conversation with this person.

I take time to respond emails with deep care and feelings. I cook meals, clean the house with more effort and feeling.

I find out in thinking that this is the last day, I am less self-focused and shift more time and effort on the important things. At the end of the day, I felt more accomplished and satisfied. I decided to try it more, to make it a week, a month, until the thinking pattern grows into a habit…a life having right priorities everyday…A life actively prepared for the coming of the risen King!

Give it a try?
