If today were your only day, how would you live it? This question was posed today during Sunday Service. A great question to ponder.
As I thought about what I would do differently (if anything), my primary thought was to live more fully in the now. To be present in each moment as each occurs. To give my best to each situation, each encounter, each experience. This means to live completely in the now.
To live in the now is living in wholeness. When we live in the past or live in the future we are missing out on mucn of what life has to offer.
Granted, it's good to take a walk down memory lane now and again, but not to live is the space of, "If only."
Those who live in, "if only" need simply make different choices to move into "Thank goodness."
The most amazing thing is how simple this can be. It is simply a matter of giving your all to everything you do. Imagine how more complete your days would be if each and every moment you lived with such appreciation, passion and zest, that no matter what were happening, moment by moment your life is complete.
Even though it may seem like we are in this life for a long period, in truth our time on earth is very short. Although measured in years, in a flash it is over. In that moment, were you given the chance to review your life, would you be grateful you treasured each and every moment or would you regret the many moments you wasted in judgment, sorrow, anger, resentment and fear?
The choice truly is yours. Choose wisely.

Living each day to the fullest. Who knows when our last day will be. To live each day as if it were the last, living it to the fullest is the way to a life that most only dream of!
