Life is too unpredictable. Live as if it was your last.
Life is really unpredictable, yesterday your perfectly fine, tomorrow it will surprise you with an illness.
I've been thinking sometimes what future do I have, how long will live in this world, or what kind of death will I have. Having those thoughts is quite normal to me, however, it's a different story when it comes to my family. Just the mere thought of it makes me panic.
I've experienced loosing a loved one and even if it happened years ago, the pain is still the same. I only have a small family, just having one sibling whom already passed away, my parents and my husband and daughter so just the mere thought of them being hurt or any negative thoughts makes me panic. My always prayers are for their safety and be kept away from any forms of negative things, I never really think of my self as I m always ready to take all those negative possibilities, I'm even ready to see God anytime just to keep my family safe. That's how much I love my family, I don't want to see anyone of them suffer, it's really fine to me if it's just me.
There are things that you can't really avoid, even how much you take care of your self, you'll still encounter some challenges in life. Currently two of my family members are suffering from health issues that needs to be monitored, a lot of test are still to perform however the timing is not that good financially. Regardless of what was happening, I'm still positive that this is just a test for all of us, and I know that we will overcome this. God will not put us in a test that he knows we cant overcome. I still have faith that this is only happening for us to care even more for one another and be thankful for everything that we have.
When we lost my brother, it gave me a life lesson, and I always have this in mind that, Life is so unpredictable that we need to cherish every moment as if it was our last. It's not really how much material things you have, or how much money you have on your pocket or your bank account, it's really about the experience, memories you've shared with your loved once that matters, because when we die, we cannot bring any material things with us, only the memories that we shared from the people around us that will matter.
My mother keeps on telling me why do I spend so extravagantly every time we go outside? eating in a restaurant, going to the places we've never been yet, planning a day or two overnight stay elsewhere, beach or hotel. She keeps on telling me that I'm living lavishly, but for me, it's not really the case. Yes I admit, I spend everything that I earned, all of my salary, even the single penny, but not to live lavishly but to let them experience things, to let them enjoy themselves especially to my parents, they are old but have never experienced staying in the hotel even once, or having an overnight stay on a beach or even eat in a fancy restaurant, they haven't experience a lot of things on their age, and I want them to at least have a taste of those things while they can still enjoy it .
We lost my brother without having that much of memories, memories of what we're experiencing right now. I don't have that much of salary during the time that he's still with us, so every time that we're planning to go elsewhere it was always been cancelled due to financial incapacity. My mother will always say, there's still next time, but that's not the case for me, I always wanted to do what I've think of as soon as possible because we don't know what the future brings, anything can happen in just a snap of a finger, and I don;t want to waste any chance, on making my family happy.
Health is wealth, I do believe in that phrase. Be thankful if you're living a healthy life, we shouldn't worry about the small things in life, material things, or even money, yes money is important I know that but we can always earn that, we just need to work on it but if one's health was been compromised, even if you're the richest man alive, you'll even trade all your wealth just to have a healthy body.
