If Today Was Your Last Day

How would you spend your remaining minutes on earth if you knew today was your last day?

TRANSCRIPT:

Hey guys, good morning. I was privileged to be on a call this morning with Christopher and the other gentleman in my group, and a great takeaway about living each day as if it was going to be our final day. This insight comes from this wonderful book, which many of you are familiar with, My Daily Bread.

There’s the notion that even though we might be young, we might think that we’ve got a long time to live, but we have no idea, and our life could end in an instant. And so, if we conducted ourselves in that way, what would we do with our time today?

If we went to bed tonight and we never woke up, would we be happy with how we spent those final twenty-four hours? What would those twenty-four hours look like if you knew that they were your final ones? How much time would you spend in prayer? How much penance would you do on that final day?

And that’s how we want to live our lives. And if you’re not living your life that way, then look and examine; use your chart, use your tracking to really identify what the gap is between what that ideal twenty-four hours would be and where you are right now. Because remember, our entire life is just made up of a series of days, and the days are made up of a series of snapshots of how we’re living. I hope this has been helpful to you.
