Time is Valuable

Time is valuable.  Stop waiting for things to happen.  Go out and live.  Stop waiting for Friday.  Stop waiting for summer.  Stop waiting for someone to fall in love with you.  When you wait for things to happen let’s just say there not going to happen, and when you wait for things you miss everything happening in-between.  Your prince charming is not going to just magically come falling at your feet while you're sitting at home watching episodes of Gossip Girl on Netflix.  You are never going to be happy if you just keep waiting.  Life is only so long and you don't want to have regrets while you're lying in a hospital bed dying.  You never know, today could be your last.

In the book Heaven is For Real Colton’s time was limited.  On earth his appendix ruptured and it had been poisoning his system for over five days.  No one knew if Colton was going to live or not.  He was only four.  Never take your time for granted.  Not only on earth is your time limited maybe your time is limited in heaven too.  Colton says he was only in heaven for three minutes.  Three minutes.  That’s it.  Three minutes to take it all in.  Jesus.  His sister who died in his mother’s stomach, the one who he never got a chance to meet.  All of the colors.  His uncle Pop.  The angles singing.  Three minutes. 

Readers, please never take your time for granted.  Stop waiting and go and live.  Live in the moment and stop thinking about what is next.  I know the phrase ‘YOLO’ is dumb and way overused but seriously you only live once.  If you do it right, once is enough.  So stop waiting, take a stand.  Be adventurous.  Follow your dreams.  Step out of your comfort zone.  Live with no regrets.  Life is only so long and you don’t want to have regrets while you’re lying in a hospital bed dying.  You never know, today could be your last.  So, stop reading this and go out and live.
