I have 24 hrs to live..

If you knew you would die tomorrow...what would you do? Who would you call? How would you spend your final moments?

We spend so much time on things that don't matter. In jobs or relationships that don't fulfill us...with a bunch of "stuff" that may or may not make us happy. But if you knew that you would die tomorrow...what would be important to you then?

Would that silly argument over something petty that kept you from that friend or family member all this time be important? Would you care about that text message or take time trying to argue that point just for principle's sake? Would you be more kind to others? Would you allow yourself to forgive someone...maybe even yourself?

Where would you go? What would you experience? Who would you take with you that makes you your happiest

..and what would you want them to say about you when you're gone?

This is not an easy question, but every now and then it helps me get perspective on whats important in my life...and whats not

I don't really know if I will die tomorrow but the reality is...you really dont know when your 24 hrs will come. But when it comes, I challenge you to rest happy..and fulfilled

How about you? What would you do with your last 24 hours? And I challenge you to make one of those things a goal for today...

sadly it took my mother to die to realise it. I thought about all the things I didn't say, all the things I neglected to do. So I tell people I love everyday how much I love them. I don't stay mad at people because what if you were mad at someone all day and got up the next day and something happened to them where they died? You would feel awful.

That is a good question. I have made a list of things I want to do before I die and although I am not extremely religious I have asked god just to please let me accomplish these goals and then take me if you please. I believe when your "number" is up it is up. And I also believe everyone has a purpose in this world.

Good questions.

It's true we spend so much time sweating the small stuff. It takes a rare person to look at the big picture! It takes a good person to point that out!

This is a good blog and a good question at that. Thank you for bringing this question up it has allowed me to really look over what I would do if I had 24 hours left to live. Thinking about this can be very beneficial because you never know when time may be cut short. Everyone should consider reading this blog.

If I had 24 hours to live, I would probably make sure that all of my funeral arrangements are taken care of so after I'm gone no one would have to worry about all of those crazy arrangements.
