Live today like its your last!

I saw a quotation today that said something to this effect...stop living like your life is a rehersal. I thought to my self for sure thats how we act like we are rehersing and if we reherse over and over again we will be able to get it right. Unfortunetly life is not a rehersal, with every heart beat you are living it, with every breath you take you are creating your history. A friend of mine past away last week and was buried yesterday.She would have turned 45 this month. When I heard of her death I was hurt and thought to my self is this it, is this all there is? Wow! But you know what this is it and we need to make the best of it. If you dont like your job or what you are doing now start making plans for a complete career change. What is it that you love to do. I made a complete career change from being a banker and then an HR Consultant to becoming an author and a bookseller. Words and books are my true love. Of course there is a bigger picture... I want to introduce books into schools. Not all children have access to books you would be amazed how many schools have nothing for the children to read. Books take you to another level. You can travel anywhere in the world with books. lets build libraries. You see how passionate I am about books I was getting carried away. Going back to the topic, I thought if this were my last day on earth what would I do? I would want to hug my children, maybe tell them how much I loved them and how much I believed in them. I would want to really look at them to remember them and maybe give them some advice. I would want to look back on the life I had lived and remember the good times and the challenges as well. I would spend some time in prayer and meditation with the Lord. I probably wouldnt go into work that day, lol. All I am saying is lets make our lives count. That thing that you love to do get into it, do it. It will make your life better and it may change someone elses life too. Have a wonderful day and live like its your last.
