live like you were dying

And he said "Someday I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dying

Like tomorrow was a gift And you've got eternity

To think about

What you'd do with it

What could you do with it

What did I do with it?

What would I do with it?”

This song hit me like a ton of bricks today.

How often do we put it off til tomorrow? How often do we settle for something when we know it’s not what we want? How often do we give in or let it slide just this one last time?

But what if tomorrow was a gift? How would you spend it?

In the job you hate, counting down the minutes to closing time? Hanging out with the friends who bring you down? Would you spend it fixated and worrying about the future?

Or would you take the leap? Go skydiving, rock mountain climbing, bull riding? Take the steps to change your job or ask for what you need?

Whatever you choose, let’s love deeper, talk sweeter and give the forgiveness we’ve been denying.

Even if it’s just for today, let’s live like we were dying.
