Live Life to the Fullest

One Day Too Late

53
Live Life to the Fullest
Ajay Joseph

Imagine you have $84,600 in a bank account every morning. It carries no balance day to day and you can’t make any deposits, only withdrawals. At night, the bank deletes whatever portion you didn’t spend and you can never get that money back. Essentially that’s money wasted. And wasting money is not wise. So what do you do? Draw out every cent of course.

See each of us has a bank. The bank is called time. Every morning it’s filled with 84,600 seconds for you to use. If you fail to use the daily deposits, the loss is yours. Like I said earlier, you can’t carry over money – time – you didn’t use the next day. You must live in the deposits of the present. Use it and invest in happiness, health, joy, and success. The clock is ticking. Make the most of today.

I really like the phrase "one day too late" because tomorrow isn't a guarantee. The next second, even the next breath you take isn't a guarantee. We only have the moment we're in. I think there is more to life than just holding grudges against other people. Sometimes people hold grudges for years and when something that complicated is stored inside someone for so long? It can make you sick.

We're alive. Now. Don't take your time to make the most of it. I know the phrase "make the most of every moment" is cliche and cheesy, but I do think it holds a lot of truth to it. Even something as mundane as doing homework is a blessing because there are people all over the world who want an education.


The time is now to be happy and live life to the fullest. Because tomorrow could be one day too late.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
