Speak to My Finger

I read on a blog and these are The Top Five Regrets of the Dying:

1. I wish I�d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn�t work so hard.
3. I wish I�d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

It's from a book written by Bronnie Ware. I'm not going to tell much about the writer because if you are interested you will need to do your research. You will remember the details much better later. =)

I had done number 3 recently. To a guy. With my thoughts conquering only 3 quarter of the page. And he replied me in similar length.

I did that because I want to make myself happy. So I can die with a peace of mind. I have nothing to lose and I certainly do not want to lose him.

We all know we can't escape from death but we are still twirling with time as if we live for eternity.

Why not do something today that won't add on to your regret list? Like dancing in the rain? Oh well, perhaps dancing in the sun?

I used to have a list of things I wanna do and try... but I was recently overwhelmed with emotions and work, it's high time to get back my creativity.

Everyone, live life to the fullest!

That's so weird! Following Christ fulfills all those desires, though not exactly in the way that this list suggests. For example, a major aspect of being a Christian is denying yourself (and the image Jesus uses is actually carrying a cross, which basically means dying,) but by doing that we find joy and peace.

"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10

Some translations even say "have life, and life to the full." That's pretty cool.
