Spend life wisely...

Lives, like money, are spent.
What are you buying with yours?
Ever thought of that?

I've been thinking about life and death lately.
It's true that I have been living for 25 years now, but during those period have I done anything that I can be proud of?
Nothing came to my mind.
Zero...

We never know how much time we have left to actually breathe and touch the people we love.
We don't even know what is going to happen to us in the next few hours also.

Just to mention about death, definitely it will terrify anyone.
I have learned not to fear death, as it is out of our control.
What I can do is try to live life as much as I want to.
Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

So I'm telling myself...
Take a break once in awhile...
Go travel to those places I wanted to....
Go and explore all the wonders of the world...
Go get myself wet, play and dance in the rain...
Reward and spoil myself with the things that I desire...
Spend and buy gifts to those that I love, make them smile...
Less time in front of computer, more time playing outdoors...
Treat everyone as if they're my brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers...
Run across a sea of fresh flowers and lay down at the middle of a jungle...

Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.

We make a life by what we give

One of my sister's friend is very in need of a kidney transplant but no donor seems to come along to help her in these past 2 years...

I think I did offer her mine few months back but she refused since she said she doesn't wanna risk anyone who is close to her...

But right now, her wound for dialysis always becomes infected...
She has been into countless of operations to clean the wound up...
Imagine have to go through all of that since the age of 2, and she is only 18 now...

I wanted to give half of mine to her... I wished I could...
We shared the same blood group...
But I'm underweight...
And it is risky...

I had always wanted to do good deeds to people...
I believe that each people was born in a purpose to help others...
Giving money is easy, same goes of giving advice and wisdom...
But your own body part which also will affect your own life?
Not so many are very sincere of doing it...

Come to think of it, when I think twice, I do think I'm selfish...
I wanted to help her if I can, but I'm worried of what will happened to me...
I have to sacrifice my active life, I can't go do extreme sports that I love so much...
I can't eat all types of food like I used to...
I really have to take of my other kidney well since I only left with one should I agree to donate...
So there we see what kind of person I still am...

SELFISH

==========================



But she will always have my prayers though...
I am grateful to GOD for blessing me with a healthy and perfect body...
With this, I shall put them into good use, and never complain on how bad my own life is...

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing peeps.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

If I had my life to live over

If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.I'd relax; I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.

===============================

I love this poem by her, makes me understand that life is not something to be wasted upon. When you have something that you wanna do at that point of time, don't think much, just do it... Thinking too much is where our mistake is...

Remember, the purpose of life is a life with purpose.
