"Live Like You Were Dying"

"Live like You Were Dying" These are not my words. They are the title of a song from The Bucket List Movie. These words actually hit me this past week. I had an assignment in my Entrepreneurial class and we needed to watch a small video from Raundy Paush. The video was about five minutes long, and we also needed to read the entire speech but when I watched the video I wanted to learn more that I ended up watching the entire video that last one hour and 16 minutes. They were totally worth it. This week I learned a lot. I am a self-motivated person or at least I thought I was, but after watching this man the way he addresses to everyone I understood that I need to give more to life. This week I had a huge thing to overcome. Actually my baby boy had a big trial. He got sick on Tuesday. My husband took him to his football practice but my boy was complaining a lot. He said that he had a stomach ache. We thought he had just a tantrum... but after he puked over five times, we knew that something was wrong. Next day first thing in the morning we took him to the doctor and it wasn't a regular stomach ache. He had appendicitis. I couldn't believe that a 6 year old boy could be experiencing all that pain. He had a surgery. I was scared. I wanted to cry but I didn't want him to feel scared too. So I was strong. After the surgery everything went smoothly and now he is finally back home with us.

After having all these experiences in one week I started to ponder if I'm giving my best in life. I wonder if I am really working towards my dreams and goals. I want to live like if I was dying. We are all eventually going to die , I'm not being pessimistic, is just something that we all have to experience. What will be our legacy? We still have time to start working towards our dreams.

a mix of thoughts....

I have always believed that my potential has no limits but the ones I set in my mind. Sometimes I rather do nothing than take a chance to do what it takes to accomplish my goals. Sometimes it is easier not to do anything and stay in my comfort zone..... but I know that I have been given much and I need to live according that potential.

Yesterday I listened a speech given by the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. At the beginning of his talk he expresses the love he has for young people and he starts crying. That experienced help me felt more vividly the love that my loving Heavenly Father has for me. I have too many weaknesses but if God trusted in my enough to send me to live in this earth in this particular time is because He is confident that I have the tools to succeed. That helped me to be aware of all that God expects from me. I have to live according my potential. I am not perfect and I'm too far away to accomplish the goal. But I have to set the right path in order to do what He wants me to do. 

The timing is perfect for me. I am starting my own business and I am also starting my new career. I feel overwhelmed by doing this two tasks and those are not only the two things I am doing, I have something more important to do... I am a mother of two gorgeous kids. I love them deeply. I am married and I have many things to do. I have discovered that the only way to survive all this responsibilities and succeed in all of them is by living in an organized way. I need and schedule and I need to follow it. I know of course that I need to do my very best and then ask God to help me have the strength, the health and the heart to work in all of them. I trust in Him. He knows me better than anyone and if I do my part He will be there for me!
