Life Is Short: Start Living Life Before It’s Too Late

I often ask myself, when do people truly start living? My answer is, “When we face death.”

If I had asked myself these questions last week, how would I have lived? What would I have done? Who would I have called or spent time with? What would I have shared from my heart? How would I have spent those days? Who would I have thanked, forgiven, or told I loved? How much energy would I have devoted to enjoying every moment I had left?

These questions led me to call my father and tell him how amazing he is, something I had never expressed before. With his battle against cancer, I don’t know how much time he has left, and I don’t want to wait until it’s too late and feel regret.

These simple questions have inspired me to live my best life, remain flexible, and be grateful for everything I have.
