What if you would die in one day?
What if you woke up one day, and you knew it was going to be your last. What would you do? Would
you say goodbye to your loved ones, would you live the day like all the other days, or would you just
make it the best day of your life? But, maybe you are already too late to really enjoy your life,
because 24 hours isn’t so long. One day is not enough to do everything you’ve ever wanted to do, so
you would probably end up regretting a lot of things. But how can you make sure you won’t end up
with a list of regrets, therefore, how can you start living a better life?
First of all, you need to enjoy fun moments in life as much as possible, because it causes lower stress,
anxiety and depression levels. Having fun in your life helps you feel less overwhelmed by the
pressure that you’re carrying with you. This can help you to respond less intensively to anxiety,
depression and stress.
Secondly, we shouldn’t take the events around us too personally. We often think life is unfair. We
keep telling ourselves we’re worse than the rest. We fail. But most of the things happening to us
shouldn't be taken personally. People leave us, they argue, or are selfish, because they have their own
problems, but that’s not your fault. Therefore, face challenges with a sense of humor and a lightness
of heart, so that you can overcome these challenges and move forward faster.
So what else can you do to be happy, to have a fulfilling life and to reach the finish line without any
regrets? Well, you can read a book, go outside or have funny conversations with your friends, as long
as you enjoy all of it. So if you enjoy and appreciate the small details in life, when you eventually die,
you will look back with satisfaction at the little details you enjoyed.
To conclude, if you feel happy most of the time, and you don’t take the events around us too
personally, then you are making the most out of your life. Therefore, make sure you live your life like
every day could be your last, so you would never be really disappointed if your life suddenly came to
an end. As James Dean said: dream as if you'll live forever, but live as if you’ll die today.
Thank you all for your attention.
