If you are reading this, you are very much alive. You have the opportunity to think about your life and make choices that will deliver satisfaction, relief, and pleasure to you.
When your life is over, what will you feel good about?
Will you feel good that you made efforts to heal emotional wounds you might have inflicted at some point in the past, or will you continue to cause or carry pain and anger?
Will you feel good that you raised your children with values that will carry them through a life of joy, or will you raise your children to hate, fear, be rude to, or anathematize others?
Will you feel good that you strived for optimum physical health through good eating habits and invigorating exercise, or will you wait for a miracle cure to the damage caused by your repeated consumption of harmful foods, beverages, and drugs and while physically struggling with simple steps or movements?
Will you feel good that you directed your negative emotions into positive outlets, or will you terrorize those close to you with cruel words, physical lashings, or a cold, closed heart?
Will you feel good that you accepted what you could not change and moved forward with what is most important to you, or will you wallow in the horrors of vengeance desired or acted upon and the horrors of incredulity at humanity and providence?
No one likes to think about death, but think about your life. When it's over, what will you feel good about? The decisions you make and the actions you take today, tomorrow, and the next day will help you answer that question.
Remember, live each day as if it were your last, because one day, you will be right.
