What If Today Was The Last Day Of Your Life?
The truth is, the next blink of an eye could be your last!.
Could you honestly say you are ready to pass on to the next great adventure?
Were there things, experiences and relationships you left on the “back burner” just one day too long?
Do the people in your life that you love, know that you love them?
What are you going to be remembered for? A job you spent your life at? Dreams you never lived. Hearts you never touched? Those are things quickly forgotten.
If today was the last day would it be full of apprehension and sadness?
Or would you be at peace? Knowing you lived your life to the fullest. Because you were always the person who encouraged others to live their dreams and trust themselves. Your calm, centered peace of mind coming from the knowledge that you really did do the best you could with what you had to work with…
Your life adventures taught you the great truths of life.
You arrived at your last day on Earth fully forgiven: You forgave yourself and all others… Therefore your heart is open, calm…
Your life was the example of someone who always tried to take the high road. Always opted for honesty and faced the world with an open heart. Never fearing that your vulnerability would be used as a weapon against you… but knowing instead that it was a divine shield protecting you from anything you didn’t need to experience for your further spiritual growth.
Do you have those who are closest to you within the reach of your hands and heart? Are they gathered around you, in your final seconds, as you cross the threshold of the greatest of all of life’s adventures?
Will you be ready to do it all over again, making different decisions, taking greater risks and having more belief in yourself the next time around?

When I read this part, “You arrived at your last day on Earth fully forgiven: You forgave yourself and all others..Therefore your heart is open, calm…” I felt such peace.
I had been in a panic. My Fourth of July holiday had shown me something that was missing in my life. I realize that what was missing was the result of choices I had made in the past. Choices, I have no way of altering in this physical plane.
Your words gave me peace and I was able to forgive myself those choices. I was able to let go of the pain, fear and panic and today will be a better day.
Thank you,
Eleanor
