I've always been a firm believer in the phrase "life is too short...", until the other day when I came across this quote. It says~"Why do people say life is short when it's the longest thing you'll ever do?"...and it got me thinking.

Yes, life IS short, but only because we set such expectations, limitations, and crazy innovations to what we think it should be. Life is the longest thing you'll ever do, because you won't do anything longer than you have lived. It's not possible. However, people limit themselves to only doing certain things during this period of time, yet they hold such high expectations as to what they will actually do, while having innovations of changing the world completely.

Each new discovery is a step towards a bigger and better life. It's what you do with that discovery that determines just exactly how much bigger and better it will be. Life is only short for those who havent spent it the way they thought they would have. People set out to do so many crazy things before they die, yet they dont really WANT to do them, and the only time it crosses their mind is when it's too late and they no longer can. That's where "life is short" comes in.

Yeah...you may die tomorrow, but you had every day of your entire life before now to accomplish all you wanted to and needed to. Procrastination isnt an excuse...it's a cop out. If you really want to change or do something you wont wait for tomorrow, you'll find time to do it today. Waiting is a way out...it's as easy as that!!!

"Life is to short to hold a grudge, or be mean to others, etc., etc..." It isnt necessarily that life is too short, so much as it's just not a way to live. You know, they say all the time if you died tomorrow would everyone know how much they meant to you, and if not go and tell them. That shouldnt have anything to do with life or death. If you really and truly cared about them and wanted them to know it, they would...whether you come out and say it or not.

Fact of the matter is...everyone's life is complete when they die. There's no getting around it. They ended up being exactly who they really wanted to be. If they had more time...they would have spent it just like they had every other day their entire life before hand! The only reason people think again after near death experiences is because they realize they may not want to go being remembered the way they were. That's also why it doesnt always last. It's an appearance thing...not a life thing!

Well anyways...think what you care and believe what you want...but this is just my opinion on it as of now. I have to warn you it is subject to change in the future but...as of now we're good!!! I dont know why I'm bothering since I think I'm the only one that reads this thing anyways but...if ya do read it and have something to say feel free to comment...I encourage it!!!

I've g2g!!! Ttyl!!! Byes!!! Luvs!!! Muah!!!
