I Believe

I believe that I and every person are just passing through this world and that we’re not going to experience it forever. We should all make the most of our time spent here, even though most of us do not.

I believe most people don’t realize that they are being watched every moment of every day and night by a higher power. Some day we will all be held accountable for our actions, good or bad.

I believe most people choose a career for money not enjoyment.

I believe most people leave their kids in day care and after school programs just so they can make more money.

I believe most people get divorced without taking any consideration of how it might affect the children.

I believe most young people abuse their bodies with drugs and alcohol, figuring it won’t affect them because they’re too young.

I believe most people would much rather take than give.

I believe most people don’t take into consideration that they could die this very day or many days to come. They might not have the opportunity to say what they wanted to say or do what they wanted to do or spend more time with those they love.

To realize that this could be your last day can be hard at times, especially if you haven’t experienced life for a long period of time, but if you do take into consideration that today could be your last, you will enjoy each moment in life much more. It took me a while to realize this and is still hard for me to realize now. What really made me realize this the most was having a family member come close to death. It was just a couple of months ago I received news that my grandfather had a heart problem and that it could become a serious threat to his life. I thought, no way, my grandfather is in way too good of shape to have a heart problem. But it was true; he had what was called an aortic aneurysm. Luckily it has not become life threatening. After that experience it made me realize that life is short and that we are not going to be here forever.

I’m not saying to go out and spend all your money, sell your home and get married. I’m just saying, have the thought in your mind that today could be your last when making decisions on what is a priority in your life and what affect it has on others.
