All about Life

What is life anyway? We might all have that question at some point in our lives. Or is it just me?

Moves fast

This quote from Ferris Bueller’s Day off

“Life Moves Pretty Fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. “

He is correct. Well, I mean, the writers were right. Life does move fast.

What about life

If you are here on Earth, you are alive and human unless you are an alien. But that is a different post. Life is about experiences. Here are things that life should be about

Learning
Kindness
Respect full.
Responsibility
Teaching
I could go on

It is all up to you on how you live your life and what you do to it.

Recently

In the past few months, I have seen the end of my life.

One of my friends lost her mother
One of my neighbors passed away in a car accident
A coach of my kids passed away.

Life is a short thing if you look at it.

Living

The question you might ask yourself is the following question.

Are you living your life to the fullest?

Well, let me explain that question in my words. So listen up.

Am I doing everything I can to live my life to the fullest? No, I am not. I am trying to do the best I can. I am doing the following:

I think I am respectful.
I think I have the responsibility.
I think I am a teacher.
I think I am kind
I think I am Learning
I think I am not selfish

I look to my life and see what I can do to make other people’s life better. Is it just a smile? Saying hello to a stranger, helping someone out, holding the door open, letting some in traffic, and I could go on.

In March of 2022, I had a heart issue and went to the ER. Now this could have been worse than it was. But it made me think of what I need to do better. Now I haven’t lost weight, that is a hard thing to do. But that is a post of another day.

What if my heart issue ended my life that day? What would my life mean? Would anyone show up to my funeral? Would people miss me? Would they say, Just led a good life? Did he do good in the world?

Or will they say, Dang, it is good that he is gone? He was a horrible person. I could be the best person in the world, but some people will hate me for who I am or what I stand for.

Better

You can ask yourself a question, what can I do better? For me, it is more present in people’s lives. Be nicer to people. Saying hi and encouraging people, you know, by giving them a high five or knuckles for doing something good.

But, on the other hand, you also have to set them straight if they are doing something wrong, like talking during class, jumping up and down, and goofing off. This all comes down to the teaching principles that will help people grow and improve.

But the friendships you make are not only good. But the sample you are to others. That builds up, and people will notice it.

If you take one thing from this blog, you have a life to live, live it to the fullest, and make sure you are doing good things to be remembered for something good.
