If Today Was Your Last Day To Live, What Would You Do In Your Last 24 Hours?

in #death6 years ago

People spend so much time thinking about the things in life that distract us such as making money, raising children, school, or whatever the case may be. And I know this topic may be very morbid to some people, but I think people need to take a step back and evaluate their life as if they only had one day to live, and the key to this evaluation is to not lie to yourself and be completely honest.

Ready...Set...Go!

Now if you are ready to go through with this self-evaluation, The first thing I want you to think about is all of the bad stuff you have done in your life. Are they stuff that have hurt others? Have you done some really unforgivable stuff? Just reflect on anything bad that you may have done or just any regrets that you may have. Just reflect. Also, think about the good things you have done as well. That is also very important, but the main idea here is to evaluate your life as a whole.

Ask yourself...

Is there any unfinished business you feel that you have, or in others words: Do you have a clear conscience? okay, now once you have honestly and thoroughly have thought about all of these things in your life, the next step is to think "What would I do if I had 24 hours left to live?", "Do I need to clear my conscience or make things right? Do I need to fix someone?", and if you need to do any of those things or you feel any of those things is something you would do if you had a day left to live, you should probably make things right in your life right away if you feel this way. But if you honestly feel that you don't need to make anything right, then I suggest that if you had 24 hours left to live, you do something meaningful.

Your conscience plays a big role in all of this. And I highly recommend you watch this video:

My personal thoughts

To be honest, If I had one day to live, I would spend my last day with my family. But I also think that when it comes to the topic of conscience, I think it is very important that you are completely honest with yourself because when it comes to that day when you die, you will have a flashback of all of the bad things you've done and if you don't clear your conscience, you won't die a peaceful death, at least that is just my thoughts on it anyways.

I would do what a family member of mine did when they knew they were close to passing away. While they had more time than 24 hours one should be so thankful they were given such an opportunity. Most do not get the chance and so many things go unsaid.

You mention something very important and that’s spending it with family. I would choose to thank and be appreciative of the kindness people have shown me in my life. I would write some very kind notes as to leave something behind and also show them how much I loved them and the positive impacts they had on my life. As others have done before me. While very sad and hard for the person. I am very thankful to have such a thing and be able to tie happy memories to an object that will treasure.

Far too many people take everything for granted and never stop to appreciate things. I’m at least thankful knowing the people close to me in my life understand that I love them very much.
