DAY.NINETEEN> Wasted.

I just recently re-joined the gym and it has been great. Waking up feeling like I have a bag of bricks on top of me and having limited range of motion for 2 days after is the way to go. Certainly a feeling I have missed. It is actually the only thing I did today aside from dinner with a good friend. As I barely got through my day I started thinking about what I was doing that day and for once, I felt it did not amount to much. Ever have those days where you feel like all you do is just sit there? Or watch TV or what have you? Well I started wondering about that and then all the things that I had been learning and the ideas and my day certainly did not resonate.

How many times have we heard the phrase "Live each day as it is your last?" Hey, I'm all for that methodology/way of life whatever you want to call it, but do we mean it? What would it look like if we really did live each day as if it were our last? I think we would have a new zest for life. I think we'd enjoy the simple things while appreciating other people and our surroundings a whole lot more. I think that it would show us that life really is short. I know people say "you only live once" and use that as an excuse for all the crap they find themselves doing. I'll promote that saying but with an addendum - "you only live once, live right". Not too far-fetched is it? I don't think so.

Maybe I'm crazy (it might be so). But I don't believe in wasted days. I think the last thing I ever want to share with someone is saying that I wasted today. I did nothing. I was selfish - I kept to myself. I guess what I am struggling with is that if we have the potential to call everyday "successful" or to see the beauty in it or in other people then why don't we? If we have the chance to take a risk, then let's take it. A new challenge? Opportunity? Friendship? I'm on board. I'm not about to live the rest of my life as if I'm wasted...
