What if u Die?
We are so apt 2say 'God forbid',if and when a person makes reference to the possibility and inevitability of dying.
It seems almost normal to live for the NOW and adjourn tomorrow.
To create a mental picture of how happy our future should be,without putting up backup plans incase of contigencies.
Is this faith or mere positive thinking?
The issue is not to draw a distinction between faith and positive thinking,but the reason behind the thought 'what if you die'?
Everyday you wake up,say your prayers(if you remember or have one to say),prepare for the day,get busy,satisfy all your cravings,rest and sleep. Now,this is a normal routine,you keep at it consistently everyday,deep in sleep,without a thought of tomorrow,yet also you awaken...it almost feels like a physiological process,just like we blink our eyes.
People living like there's no tomorrow,having fun,doing all sort of things.
Have you ever paused amidst all the drama in your life and really think about the legacy your going to leave behind? How people will speak of you? How excited,devastated or indifferent your friends will feel about the terrible news?What impact you have made on people?Who will miss you?
No!because nobody likes the theme of death.Well too bad,nobody lives forever.
I recently got a call from a friend who informed me that someone i bumped into after a long time is no more! If you have ever lost a friend,family,or loved one, you would know the feeling. I remember how much i cried,when i was told a family friend was dead. He was a sickler,after surviving a tortuous crisis,he was okay and the next minute he was gone. I remember how i kept on postponing to call him,but whenever i had airtime i forgot. When i got the news i dialled his number and it didn't go through, it dawned on me that i didn't even add him on facebook,while i did, it was rather too late,nobody could accept my request! Since that day,i kept thinking, 'what if i die'?
My intents are not to say that you will die...*giggles* but to get you thinking....just what if!
Hell or Heaven? Two BOLD choices...the path you are on is it where you would rather be? I would really love you to take a few minutes and check where your soul would spend eternity. I just thought about mine now and trust me,its not dope!
Live your everyday like theres no tomorrow,stop regretting what you have done,it just might be too late to regret what you havent done.
Live today like its your last.
Forgive people. Accept people. Help people while you can. Never postpone what you can today till tomorrow. It just might be too late to say sorry.
Make that call now, pay the visit, apologize now.
Do it while it counts,while you are alive...at the funeral doesn't count.
Just What if....
