Live your Life!

It's ridiculous to hear and see how we would sometimes spare ourselves from spending money on things that will improve the quality of our lives. We always have to wait for the sale before buying even the most important things in our lives: plane tickets to go home and see mom and dad, digital cameras to capture beautiful and precious moments, shoes that will help us walk better and benefit our health, books that will sharpen our minds and broaden our imagination, classes that inspire passions and hidden talents, organic or healthy expensive food that will make us live longer, etc. And yet we splurge on alcohol, expensive cars, cigarettes, wonder bras and fancy underwear (when nobody even sees us naked), excessive jewelry, fastfood meals that have been proven to make us obese and potential stroke and cancer victims, etc.

We would rather shun the Truth and live on second hand, shortlived, flashy and poor quality commodities than live our lives to the fullest. We are so engrossed on Form rather than Substance.

If you died right now, what good is your savings account, your BMW, or your flat screen tv? What will happen to the money you have worked so hard for now that you can't visit the city of your dreams, or hear your favorite artist on tour, or see the whales dance in Alaska? You work hard and yet you live hard on your self! You should rather work hard, and LIVE EASY. You are given resources so you can have the best quality of life.

There is a saying that goes, "Save the best for last," but will the best ever come in your very last breath, your very last hour? It's like serving people in deathrow their last favorite meal before they get zonked out with 5,000 volts of electricity. Now is the only time we have, and we can make it the best with what we have and own in our lives. Go make that expensive international long distance phone call and talk to Mom and Dad, go to New York and live out your dreams, kiss that special someone and tell them you love them, eat the food that will make you feel better and healthier, do what you have to do with what you have! Live your life!

You have one life to live, and in every moment you are blessed with resources, money, friends, things, etc. that can help make your life better. Don't be cheap on things that will last and improve your quality of life as long as you can afford it. If you know your priorities and what is important to you, you can use all that you have to live the life that you want. God has filled the earth with good things and has given us talents, abilities, intelligence, and instincts to make use of what He has given us.

Live your life! Now! YOUR LIFE IS NOT ON SALE PRICE.

Matthew 25:14-30
"...And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, "Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours." But his master answered and said to him, "You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed. Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest. Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
