Day 30: Live again!

Having reached this part of the book and being able to write my thoughts means that I didn't die before the book was over! :p
Kidding aside, I've learned a lot throughout the journey and the book closed with four reminders on how to live better moving forward.
Just four words...
Love...
Integrity...
Forgiveness...
Enthusiasm...

Day 29: Almost home...


A couple of years ago, I was reading Purpose Driven Life and it dawned on me that I have a lot of things to improved on how I live my life.
First, I was living as though I'd be forever alive on earth. I spent a lot of time and money getting knowledge, upgrading gadgets and accumulating stuff.
I then realized one thing that has been in my mind ever since: If my lifetime is a drop of water, eternity is much larger than the Pacific ocean!
It is then important to maintain an eternity perspective in the present.
Unlike work where we can render overtime to finish unfinished business, life rarely provides the same opportunity. When the buzzer rings, it's game over. Only a few could get to do overtime.
But we have the gift of time called everyday to do the things that needed to be done until we finally go home...
