Think of it this way...
You find yourself looking down at YOU. Heart stopped and you get to do a "George Bailey" overview of where you are. Where you stand. What your life sums up to.
Would that be a frightening picture?
For some it might, but let's take the snapshot...
Maybe it can be a wonderful picture of what you've done RIGHT NOW. Not looking solely at your past, but taking in the picture of today's accomplishments, triumphs, defeats; battles won and lost.
Would you change anything?
One day life will end for each and every one of us. It's not a fear thing, but it is one of those mysteries that we don't control if we allow life to flow. I woke up one morning and found myself living like I was already dead, and that is a dark depression that is not easily overcome. I found myself so miserable and alone I didn't enjoy life - I didn't laugh - I didn't sing.
I did have that opportunity to look down at ME. I missed my kids. I wanted some sort of twisted relationship with my folks. I hated my wife. I was a wreck. And I couldn't continue on like that.
IF THIS IS IT, TODAY, THEN I WANT TO KNOW THAT I GAVE IT EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE!
What if you lived everyday as if your heart had stopped...
Could the thought of this moment being your last change your life? One moment at a time?!
