If today were the last of all days……..

In this article, I invite you to ask your self the question asked by Marilyn Scott in the popular jazz song “If Today were the Last of All Days.”

Here’s the question:

“If today were the last of all days, would you………….”:

start the business you have always wanted to

take that special trip you had always planned

heal an old hurt

forgive an old offense

visit someone who would love to see you

reconnect and catch up with an old friend

see a sight you have dreamed of seeing

learn how to do something new

go on an adventure

ask someone to forgive you

learn how to communicate with your spouse

learn how to communicate with your kids

learn how to communicate with your parents

thank your parents

make love with your spouse like you mean it

tell someone how much you love them

see a movie or read a book

quit sweating the small stuff

finally get it that it’s almost all small stuff

tell someone how much you appreciated what they contributed to your life

thank someone for believing in you

gather your family around you and just hold them

get your priorities in order

finish that project you left hanging

consider what the meaning of your life has been

focus on what’s important

balance your family and work life

get to know your kids

get to know your spouse

get to know your self

let someone in front of you in traffic

find out the names of the people who live next door, across the street, behind you

slow down and enjoy what you have worked so hard for.

Here’s my question - what’s keeping you from doing any or all of these things now?

Now here’s my ridiculously simple suggestion - one of the best ways to begin designing and living the life of your dreams is to start doing these things now, today! Why wait for “the last of all days” or some equally devastating event? This life is not a dress rehearsal.

You can probably come up with many more of your own “someday I’ll………….” I encourage you to do so.

I’ll close with the last line of the Marilyn Scott song:
“doesn’t it seem strange we would only start living our lives,
if today were the last of all days?”
