Live Like You Were Dying!

This song by Tim McGraw has a great message for all of us! I went sky diving. I went rocky mountain climbing. I love deeper and I gave forgiveness that I had been denying. Someday I hope you get the chance to live as if you were dying. As if tomorrow was a gift, what did I do with it, and what did I do with it?

To live as if you were dying, are you getting the hang of it here, what this song is all about? If not let me try and inciting you just a bit. This is very different from the chapter I wrote early about six days left. This is actually a positive thing; I mean to live as if you were dying.

I mean if you lived everyday like you were dying, you would get all the things done that you wanted. You would want to prioritize the things that were most important to you. I mean we would get lean and mean with are time and we would get rid of all the fluff and concentrate your efforts on the stuff that meant the most to us.

I mean it is like a new philosophy, one were you are move alive than you used to be. The colors outside seem crisp and cleaner and love seems to be fun again, life is less stressful. I mean you can take a deep breath and try to be present in the NOW, the only time you are ever promised.

The only place you can experience God is in the now. That’s were he is and if you are thinking about what you did yesterday, you are missing the point. If you project your self in the future and you lose sight of the now, then you are not living as if you were dying. That is what being in the present means. Loving what you do and doing what you love. I mean I went sky diving.I went rocky mountain climbing. I rode a bull for 2.6 seconds and his name was ku-man-foo. So please live as if you were dying!

What if you live like most people? Wake up on Monday morning mad as hell because they have to go back to work. All they can think about is Friday, when they could get off and drink all weekend long. Now do not get me wrong, I used to be one of those people drunk all the time. It was the only way that I could make it through the week. I knew that Friday was drinking after work, until two in the morning and then of coarse drive home drunk.

Then at one time I asked is this all there is? I mean there has to be more. That is the day that I quite drinking and started living each day as if I was dying. What would I do that was different from the past? I had a quicker bounce in my step and I always had a smile on my face. I would look for opportunities to help others out.

I would go out of my way to do things for people who I did not even consider friends and that would be classified as loving thy neighbor. Yes, I felt different spiritually. I felt if I was talking to God and being more in tune with him. I even found myself praying. Something I did not even believe in to much at all and now I was doing it more and more, I did not even know it and the better I felt the more I talked to God.

Now do you want to know something funny? Now I can see myself in my minds eye, as being there or getting this or that and I find myself thanking God on things that I haven’t even got yet. I mean I put the movies in my mind to work and that is just a example of how I would live like I was dying.

I went sky diving. I went rocky mountain climbing. I was living as if I was dying! So can you if you will but open your mind to a new dimension and that you never knew existed and that is being present in the now. Living every day as though that it is your last, so go sky divining, go rocky mountain climbing and ride that bull for 2.6 seconds and most of all don’t let anyone steal your thunder. If it is what you want then go for it. You are now living as if you were dying!
