Live life without regrets

WHAT if tomorrow is the last day of your life?

What would you in a mad rush do on your last few hours of earth? Would you beg forgiveness from those you have wronged? Would you say goodbye to those you love? What would you desperately want to do one last time? Hug those you love for the longest possible time? Would you bargain with God to extend your days? Would you fight your fate? Or would you accept death with dignity and grace?

What would you regret doing or not doing in your life? If there was something you always wanted to say to someone but never did, would you say it now? If there was something you always wanted to do but never did, would you do it now—on the last day of your life? Indeed, what would you scramble to do if you knew that tomorrow was the last day of your life?

What if tomorrow was the last day of your life? What would your eleventh-hour “to-do” list look like? What last words would you leave behind? How would you want to be remembered? Would you be ready to move on to the next life? And even if you did not actually believe in God, would you be ready to face Him if he were real?

  1. Yeah.. Come to think of it.. I'm not really ready. I wanted to start a discussion one like this in myLOt before. But I would definitely fight for another day.
