Here is a heavy idea. We are all dying. I was thinking about this the other day. What does this mean? I could look at it two different ways really. First, I could say "I need to do a bunch of crazy things that I wanted to get done in life." This really didn't sit well with me though. Having kids I feel into "what important lessons do I want my boys to know." I did come up with a list that I will share another time. The idea that I am thinking about today is this.
If I look at life a precious and that with every breathe I am dying I have to carry myself and make decisions based on the idea that this might be the last time I see that person. It might be the last time I go for a walk. It might be the last time I cook supper for my family. It might be the last time I teach. It might be the last time I sell something at Staples (yes I work there part time).
If I look at it that way. I owe it to myself and others to be there in the moment. Not thinking about what I am going to do later. Or what I am going to do that weekend. I have to be right there with that student, customer, son, wife or fellow teacher. I owe it to them and me to be the best I can be at that point in time.
Just an idea. Probably a bad one!
