Ah life's too short for wasting
For ifs and might have been's
Life's too short for wondering if
You could have lived your dreams.
-"Share the Darkness" by The Saw Doctors
This past week, tragedy struck my group at church: one of our young ladies passed away. She was 23. This experience has given me cause to reflect. How many times have I had an opportunity to do something or say something or go somewhere and I haven't taken it? How many times have I been too afraid or too lazy or too proud? Life is too short to let opportunities pass us by. After all, you only live once. I'm not saying go out to Vegas and blow your entire savings. Rather, make your life worth living. Make some good friends and spend good, quality time with them. Do something for someone. Remember that post a few weeks ago called I Can be Better? We never know what is going to happen to us. We may live to be 102 years old. We may only live until tomorrow. The young lady that passed away never passed up a chance to help someone in need or make new friends. Let us learn from her example. Make the life you have worth having.
