We’re not getting any younger
Funeral definitely did a wonderful job on bringing people together. Sometimes it’s hard for us to make time for couple of friends and even our own family, but a good funeral always bring people together. It is not very surprising that the whole family were all there on a funeral. It’s one of our chances to communicate with other sorrowful people. But the question is, ‘do we have to wait until it happen?’
The real problem is because we think that we’re too busy living our lives. Some people are not part of our life anymore even though they might have touched or changed our life in the simplest thing. Did we make an effort to even give them a simple phone call, to arrange a time to meet or to have a small talk while we were passing them by? We might have exchange our numbers or even our Blackberry pin with them. But is there any real effort involved after that?
As I was writing this, I looked back at my life. Yes, there are some painful moments in it. However, good moments always cover up those bitter moments.
I want to live to the fullest.
I want to smile to people that passed me by everyday. At the very least I can be hopeful that it will help them to have a better day.
I want to love like there is no tomorrow. Stop taking people for granted and start to genuinely give thanks to God for their involvement in my life – no matter how small it is.
I want to get to know my friends better. Not only for the good, but also for their weaknesses and problems.
I want to laugh really hard, close my eyes and know that the moment will be embedded forever in my heart.
I want to say hi to some lonely strangers and make them realise that they are not alone.
We’re not getting younger and I believe that each and everyone of us have some memories that we’ve created with others. Some of us living this life discontently while others are content with everything that they have achieved. Where are we in all of this? Have we live our life without regret?
