I am dying!

"Ain't nothin' to it but to do it!"

One of my closest friends loves this saying. I honestly use to laugh it off, ignore her or something along those lines every time she would say it. To me it was nothing more than one of those old sayings that was just outdated. LOL But in reality it holds so much truth. People, including myself, tend to spend so much time planing and talking about things that they never actually get to the doing. 

"But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves."-James 1:22 

Even the word of God instructs us to be doers. One of my favorite quotes is "live each day as if it were your last". However, no matter how much I proclaim I love it I have yet to live like it. I still procrastinate, I still let fear hold me hostage, I still struggle with reconciling problems immediately, and thats just to name a few. How would I really live if I was dying? What would my days consist of if I knew I only had so much time left? Would I do what I am about to do today if I knew that I would die tomorrow?

In reality, I am dying! We all are. Every minute, every day that goes by is time we can not get back. No one knows they day they will die and tomorrow is not promised to any man. So why is it that we continue to waste time as if we are guaranteed time? Why do we waste what we cannot get back? I have dreams, goals and visions of what my future looks like. Why not do everything I can with the time I got? Why not act as though this may be my last day, because it just may be. 

I have a challenge for us, that we can do together! But if no one else does it, I challenge myself to. Every day that you wake up, every day that God allows you to still be here use that day to actually do something. Stop wasting days as if you are not dying because you are! Whether your death takes days, years or decades, we are all dying. I guarantee if you shift your thinking to that which you believe you are dying instead of that which you believe you have all the time in the world you will do more with your life. Its time that we stop wasting these lives that we have, because we only have one on this side! You live and then you transition. I don't know about you but I don't want to enter heaven and hear anything other than well done!

Max out this life with me!!
