Living A FUNtastic Life (Part 26)

I have gone through many near death experiences.

I have almost died at sea… been shot in the army… been eaten alive in the jungle… lost my life in a kidnap… been killed in traffic accidents… been beaten to death…

It’s good to go through a life-death experience.

After every experience, I learn to be grateful for and to value my life.

I’m mindful that today could be the last day of my life. I should cherish it.

I want to live every moment as if it is the first and last moment. I endeavor to be mindful of every moment and make it the best moment.

I want to live every moment to the fullest and enjoy it while it lasts.

If the experience of time, as Albert Einstein might put it, is relative. Then, I want to see how can I stretch time by maximizing its enjoyment.

I want to prolong the pleasure of the moment and savour it to the greatest intensity.

What’s more, I aim to accentuate and sustain the FUNtastic experience by anchoring them in my memory.

It is sad to note that, in the past, I have allowed many of these valued moments to pass me by. I have not lived through it because I was too preoccupied with the baggages of the past and burdens of the future.

I have consciously and unconsciously lived in the past or for tomorrow.

Like one famous Chinese song goes, I just wish that ‘明天会更好’ – tomorrow will be better but I let today go to waste.

Over the years, I have discovered that when I learned to value and enjoy every moment of my life, I learned to love our Creator and love myself at the same time.

I became more aware of the love, joy and peace that He has planted in my heart.

I carried less of negative emotions, including destructive emotions.

I became more inclined to do well and do good at the same time, all the time.

I learned to live life at its best – moment by moment.

Go4It!

I hope this message will find a place in your heart.

By the way, I have also recorded other reflections.
