Everyday when I wake up I don't think about why my heart is beating or why my lungs continue to expand and deflate. I take those things for granted. I expect that I will wake the next morning and many morning to come until I am a ripe age of 100 or something. I don't expect there to ever be a call that says I have one week to live.
I feel the way I go through life is the way many do, but is that the correct way to live? Are we, am I, really LIVING? My answer to this in no. I claim to live each day and I have written out my bucket list and have worked on checking things off but on a day to day basis I don't strive to live the fullest day possible.
Some of my friends have taken on this project where they capture their day with a picture and then by the end of that year they will have 365 pictures to show for their year. This is a wonderful way to see the world around them and at the end of the day know that you have something to show for that day but do you have everything you could possibly show for that one day that god decided to keep you heart beating and your lungs expanding.
No one can change unless their core truly wants to change. No one can tell anyone how to live their life, but I do hope that you never take anything for granted. Everyday see the world, share a story with someone, make your mark on the world, think of others, think of yourself, say I LOVE YOU to everyone that deserves those caring words and always give thanks for another day you got to spend LIVING.
