If I had 24 Hours to Live

If you had only 24 hours to live, how would you live them?

If I had 24 hours to live, I would…

  • Spend time with all my loved ones and make sure they know how much I love them
  • Spend time with the people who have made the most impact on my life
  • Make sure my affairs and my will were clear, to avoid inconveniencing my family
  • Serve God and all others for the last 24 hours
  • Make sure I repent of my sins and make peace with God
  • Tell people what I never had the chance to say in person
  • Do what I always wanted to do but never had the chance
  • Travel as much as I can
  • Be normal — live today as I've always lived

It actually doesn't matter what the exact list looks like. What matters is this: don't wait for your last 24 hours, since you will never know which day that is. Live every day as your last day — a full day, every day, so the last day is no big deal. Don't wait for the last day to identify your Purpose of Life.

  • Live every day to its fullest
  • Shed your ego
  • Clarify any indifference with friends or family
  • Do kind things for people
  • Love with every fibre of your being
  • Help whenever help is needed
  • Restore others' faith in humanity
  • Thank God for your blessings
