Life is Short...

Life is short...

Some people say, "Live like there's always a tomorrow"...
But some say, "Live like there's no tomorrow"...

Which is better?!?  Of course, there's no right or wrong.  It's just a choice.  It's always good to live everyday like there's always a tomorrow, looking forward to everyday and at the same time doing things like there's no tomorrow, trying to do whatever we can within the day itself, instead of keep putting it off for later and later... till it was never been realized after all.

If you were told you could leave anytime... what would be your reaction or the 1st thing in your mind?  Have you ever really thought about that?  Or it's just something that you do not care about and never cross your mind at all?

What's the reaction?!?


- To accept or to be in denial?
- Cry and feel sorry for yourself?
- Just sit and wait to die?
- Blame GOD for everything, taking you away when you're not ready?
- Spend all your money doing all the things you have wanted to do?
- Planning out the best for your family and loved ones?
- Frustrated that you are no longer in control of your time?
- Sad that your loved ones would have to suffer 2 grievances period: leaving anytime and actual passing?
- Feel grateful that you have lived this long and enjoy every moment you have?
- Cherish every breath and moment as each day you lived is a gift to you?
- Feeling lucky that you are told death is coming soon, compared to those who died suddenly in accident?
- Feeling lucky that you are given a chance to say goodbye to all your loved ones before you leave?
- Live everyday like normal and hope for the best?
- Leave everything to GOD in Faith and pray for Miracles?


Each day we are alive, it's GOD's gift to us.  Although life does not comes with a 'bow tie' but no matter what, it is still a gift.  Each day is an opportunity for us to make a happy ending for ourselves.  Though in times, it can be pretty challenging for some of us but at least we try our very best with no regrets.


There's always so many things in our to-do list but MooMoo is sure sometimes, it would be rather difficult but not impossible, to do every single thing in our life.  We should just try our best to fulfil all our wishes and live everyday to the fullest.  Life is short... and pretty unpredictable... 

Therefore, we must always try to express ourselves freely and telling all our loved ones how much we care and love them.  This may be difficult for some who are not so open with their emotions expressions but do remember that your loved ones will not be able to hear how much you love them and appreciate them from the grave.  If possible, you can present them with your eulogies now, when you're alive.


As usual, saying is always easier than doing it... but at least we try... ^=^
