Default If today is the last day of your life?

Inspired by Paulo Coelho and Osho books........ I found their thoughts about death quite interesting, as much as their thoughts on life. What would you do if you just knew that today was the last day of your life? Close your eyes and just imagine this situation, not now, but when you are at peace, then think, comeback to write whenever you wish to.

We may never have known who or what we love the most until we actually imagine this situation, what are the things you would have done, said, to whom, and how?

Would you like to change something, on this last day?

Can this show us how important each second of our life is?

To be honest I don't think anyone would be able to say what they would do. Something like this is un-imaginable. We can imagin this happening but we wouldn't know what we would do until the last minuite. If it was actually happening.

I agree, people can say what they think they would do, but when the time comes, you probable would have no idea what you would do, and wouldn't do half the things you said.

I'd spend half the time in mental lockdown worrying about dying.

I'd get in my car and drive us to visit our daughter and grandkids. (and son-in-law if he's not travelling).

If today would be my last day, I think I would live my life the way I have been dreaming to live it. I would make it very special day. I would scream at the top of my lungs. I would love without fear and I would do anything that would make me happy.

I will visit my love ones and tell them that I love them. I will thank all the good things that they had done to me.I will also visit people that I have hurt and tell them I am sorry.

We should take each day as the last day of our life. We never know what can happen to us the next very moment. You may be crossing the road and slip and realize that a speeding bus or truck will hit you for sure. Then, you wont be able to visit your Kids, or relatives or do good (charity) before dyeing.

If you take each day as your last day, you will automatically develop a habit of helping people, and doing charity. You will give more importance to your relatives, and will definitely influence others lives through good behavior, as the fact that you may die anytime, will not let you be selfish.

this is intresting, but in all honesty i dont think that i would do much diffrent. i live by the motto 'compleatly alive till the day that i die' i try not to wast any time, and though it can be hard (if tired or worn out) you do get used to living full on all the time. this does not mean that i dont plan ahead or anything, quite the opposite, i live today, and plan for tommorow. i think that if everyone did this we would all be a lot happyer, its gotten me through some hard times.
