Live every day like it might be your last. Is that a good way to live?

[Bricealan]

When I am out socially, or just 'living' and driving looking at our society and the wonderful things to see and do, I think about how quickly our lives can end or become something we never dreamed of, Cancer, etc. How often do you think of how wonderful your life is, JUST to have it? Our lives can end in a heartbeat, but yet we take our lives for granted.

So much around us to be grateful for, and how quickly it can be taken away.

Just things to ponder

In theory, living a very “carpe diem” lifestyle can have its benefits in the form of living without even the smallest of regrets, but it doesn’t really allow planning for the future so some folks might be unintentionally screwing themselves over unless they plan to die early.

Yes. Life is full of surprises. That's why we must pray and see the good things. This is a good idea. It's important to be resilient and strong in the face of unpleasant surprises

[Tarifa]

No, because that might bring out the selfish trait in your character. If it really would be the last day, you'd just be thinking of yourself and not even bother about the people close to you.

If you mean 'live life to the fullest', you can to a certain degree, but never 100%.

So "party all night" and miss work the next day? Nope. Spend all savings and the rent check "bounces" nope.

[Bricealan]

@strateguy632 Not what I suggested at all. Living your life and enjoying "LIFE" does not mean burning the candle at both ends. I mean be grateful for your life and what it offers you, the joy of just being alive, and appreciating your friends, family, the great outdoors.

I go to the Beach and enjoy the sun on my face, and watching the waves crash in, and go wading in the surf, and even took up diving, to see the underwater life, in scuba gear, JUST TO SEE IT, and what life has to offer each of us.

If I did that I would probably be in jail because I would do so many illegal things like seeing how fast my car could drive on the highway or pushing slow drivers out of the way with my truck

[Bricealan]

@Likes2drive I understand your comment. I did not mean to have you feel that your life was ending abruptly, but really to enjoy what you have and the pleasures that living a healthy, strong life can bring you.

[Likes2drive]

I guess what you meant was make every day count, like try to experience new things and not sleep the day away

[Bricealan]

@Likes2drive Yes, Sir. Exactly
