Vive como si no hubiera un mañana

Muchos nos lo dicen… «aprovecha el momento», «las cosas de las que se acuerda la mayoría de la gente en su lecho de muerte»… Filosofía pura…
 

Pero es que así es la cosa:

• Todos vamos a morir un día.
• Y no sabemos cuándo es ese día.

 
Así que lo único que podemos hacer es tratar de vivir nuestras respectivas vidas haciendo que cada día sea memorable y no sólo para nosotros mismos, sino para que los demás también nos recuerden con una sonrisa cuando ese día llegue.
 
Nada de lo que hacemos deja de tener consecuencias sobre nuestro futuro… es como el efecto mariposa pero en escala personal. Cualquier decisión, por pequeña que parezca, puede conducirnos a una nueva aventura en nuestra vida… a la aventura que sea… Y todo esto está en nosotros… ¿Cuántas veces nos quejamos porque no soportamos la rutina de nuestras vidas o la banalidad que nos rodea? ¿Eres consciente de que tú y sólo tú puedes mover ficha para cambiarlo?
 
Yo lo tengo meridiano. Cada vez más…
 

 

I was in my early forties
With a lot of life before me
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime

I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking ‘bout the options and talking ‘bout sweet time

I asked him when it sank in
That this might really be the real end
How’s it hit ‘cha when you get that kind of news?
Man, what’d ya do?
And he said

I went skydiving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’d been denyin’

And he said, Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin’

He said, I was finally the husband
That most the time I wasn’t
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have

And all of a sudden goin’ fishin’
Wasn’t such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I, I finally read the good book
And I took a good long hard look
At what I’d do if I could do it all again
And then

I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’d been denyin’

And he said, Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin’

Like tomorrow was a gift
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it
What did you do with it?
What did I do with it?
What would I do with it?

Skydiving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin’

And he said, Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin’

To live like you were dyin’
To live like you were dyin’
To live like you were dyin’
To live like you were dyin’
