24 Hours to Live

Monday, January 18th, 2010

When I am out in public and I come across a person who is clearly miserable, I often wonder what could possibly be so wrong in this person’s life that has them acting this way. I ask myself, “Does this person realize how precious life is? Does this person understand that their lives could end within a blink of an eye?” Do you know someone like this? Do you realize how precious life is?

Nothing in the world is as precious as a human life. There are countless ways that one can lose their life in an instant. Look at the earthquake that has destroyed Haiti and ended all those lives. Do you think any of those poor people knew that they were living their last day? Do you think the people who have died in automobile accidents knew that their lives were going to end at the road ahead? Nobody knows when their time is near but that doesn’t mean that we can’t live like we only have 24 hours to live.

You should always live like you only have 24 hours to live. Living like you only have 24 hours to live doesn’t mean that you stop planning for the future. It doesn’t mean that you liquidate all your assets and quit your job. What it means is that your attitude reflects that your life is PRECIOUS. It means that when you wake up in the morning you jump up and clap your hands because YOU ARE ALIVE, YOU ARE ALERT, AND YOU FEEL GREAT. LIving like you have 24 hours to live means you never leave your loved ones without giving them a proper hug or a kiss. It means you don’t go to bed mad at the ones you love. It means you take your time to smell the roses. It means you put a pep in your step.

Life isn’t easy as it is, and it only gets harder when you desire more from it. Its guaranteed to deliver setbacks, defeats, and challenges that will rock you down to your knees. When life knocks you on your ass, what will dwelling in the past do for you? How do you think you will benefit from walking around with a miserable attitude? How is your subconscious mind going to like you asking it 1,000 times a day, “Oh my gosh, WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?” Its going to hate it and you are going to hate your life.

The poor people of Haiti have dealt with so much trials and tribulations over their history, but what they are known for is their enduring spirits. They didn’t hate to be alive, they made the most of their lives. They are fighters and that’s why they have always persevered through the most difficult of circumstances. Don’t be your own SPIRIT SNIPER. Don’t dwell in the misery you have experienced in the past because you are destined to repeat. Think about what you can do to make all your dreams come true. Think about what you can do to empower yourself to achieve the results that you desire. Our lives follow our thoughts and our attitudes are everything. We are all created equal but what separates the best of the world, from the rest of the world is our minds and our hearts. Focus on empowering thoughts. Take control of your life now. Never stop believing and always look forward to the amazing promise and possibilities that tomorrow can bring. Always live your life like you only have 24 hours to live.
