Guaranteed Impact

Life isn’t guaranteed. We aren’t promised another month, another week, another day, or even another hour. Anyone can be taken any given hour. A best friend, a loved one, a family member, no one is promised. A car accident, a wrong turn, a threat, an attack from the body, any which way, something can happen in a split second. This world, especially in today’s world, comes with chances, possibilities, changes, and risks.

Because of this, everything we do should be full of energy.

When you think, think hard.
When you sing, sing loud.
When you write, write with passion.
When you read, read as if you’re in the story.
When you smile, smile big.
When you leave, leave with loving words.
When you return, return with open arms.

Our time on Earth is limited. It isn’t guaranteed. No one knows how our lives will be lived but us. No one knows when we’ll be taken from here but God. No one can be affected if you don’t try to make an impact.

Put aside the danger of risks, because what is life without a good couple of risks?
Put aside the nag of worry, because what is life without concern for others?

Slow down and appreciate everything, but always remember to put liveliness into all things you do. Sometimes, that can be impacting in itself.
