Live each day knowing that death is unpredictable

It has been seven weeks since I acknowledged this goal by adding it to my list of 43 Things. Seven weeks since I wrote the entry below…

I have been making a little progress. I prioritize my life in simple ways, as opposed to wasting time in front of the television and treating daylight as if it went on forever. I live without many regrets, because I now do and say things that are important to me, instead of being passive with life.

I do not quite feel like I have accomplished this goal yet. I have a feeling that it may take a major revelation.

I sometimes catch myself living as if I am immortal and have aeons to fix my mistakes and achieve my goals. But the truth is, my youth does not mean that I have all the time in the world to do the things that matter the most.

I may sound morbid. I assure you, I am not. Learning to live for today will make me an even happier person.

This goal ties in to my two other goals of mine: ‘Prioritize’ and ‘Stop wasting time”.
