What a spectacular opportunity!

This, the last year of our lives. If this means so much, shouldn’t we do something really special? Shouldn’t we embrace every moment as it is now so very precious. When the end is known, it changes everything. Doesn’t it?

Only 525,600 minutes. That’s all you have. It’s all I have. At best, right?

Shouldn’t you and I make the best of those precious minutes?

They’re ticking down right now. If you’ve gotten here, you’ve just used one.

What will YOU do about it?

What will I do about it?

And to think that some of us won’t even get that much. Wouldn’t that make them all the more precious?

When people become aware of their end, they (usually) go through a quick adjustment period, and then they begin to live. Really live. Not wasting those precious moments on the unimportant. Not wasting their time on people and things that waste themselves away.

Life is fleeting, and so very precious. The Universe wants us to live our lives to the fullest.

Do so.
