Recent events have reminded me that we should live life to the fullest each day, each moment.
For example, a 12-story building collapsed in Florida this week at 1:30 am. Probably most of the inhabitants were sleeping and died without realizing what was happening. Others survived, but maybe lost some of their famly members. Rescuers are working to save some 99 people still missing.
Last weekend 19 people were shot in Chicago, with four of them dying.
Probably in a dispute over the corners from where they dealt their drugs.
Last week one of our clients was found lying unresponsive at a bus stop on his way home from work. At first it was assumed he died of a drug overdose; only later he was discovered to have suffered a brain hemorrhage from an unknown cause. He could have been struck by an assailant, he could have fallen and hit his head. At this point it is a mystery.
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, over 600,000 Americans have died from it - many of them in the prime of life and younger. Three years ago this might have sounded like science fiction, instead of the harsh unanticipated realtiy that it is..
The point of of this is that life is precious, each moment is a gem, a gift from the Universe or your God. You should treasure each morning that you are able to open your eyes, put your feet on the floor, and start your day.
We never know when fate will befall us, when our days will end. You can be the richest person in the world but your clock ticks like everyone elses. You may be the healthiest person on the team; yet some rare disease will leave you bed-ridden.
Show your gratitude for your time here by being kind and generous to others. Having a giving heart, and you will find your moments full of joy.
