Just live

What would you do if someone told you you only had one week, or one month, one year to live? I bet some of you would quit their jobs, and do everything they've always wanted to do. Every day, a holiday. Every day, a party. Every day lived fully to the max, doing everything that makes you happy. Some of you wouldn't change a thing, and live day by day like you didn't receive that hopeless verdict. Personnally, I would quit my job. I would travel. I would bring my family and friends with me. I would make love every day, all day and all night. With the one I love. I would read the books I've never had "time" to read. I would buy the cd's I've always wanted to buy. Dress however I want no matter what the occasion (my prettiest colorful dress on a rainy day). I would tell my deepest secrets to my bestfriends. I would declare my love to everyone I've ever loved. There's a lot of things I would do differently if someone told me "this is it, yours days are numbered.". My ultimate goal for every one of those days would be to make myself HAPPY. Live to the fullest. Not waste a minute of that precious life.

And right now I'm thinking, "WHAT THE HELL ARE WE WAITING FOR?!" Why don't we all do it now?! Now that we are young, healthy, passionate? What if in 2 years I'm not as spontaneous, and miss on things because I don't have the guts to do it anymore? THAT, is scary. Why would we wait until the ultimatum to do everything that would makes us happy? I mean, let's live it, let's do it, and then when we get old, when we get sick, we can look back down memory lane and appreciate the things we have done? We can slow down, relax, have one on one time with the loved ones and just enjoy the time we have left.

No matter what you would do if someone told you you only had one week, one month, one year left to live, make sure that RIGHT NOW, you live in the moment, live in the present, and make yourself happy. Don't think too much ahead. Just breathe, and just live. Happiness is just around the corner. Don't wait for it to come to you, go for it.

Love,

Catherine
