"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.
