Inconvenient Truth: We are mortal

The hard fact to face is that we might not be living for another one, ten, twenty fifty years; we are mortal and we will die within the next ninety years. Everything we take for granted today we might not have forever. I live thinking nothing is to be cherished or valued because we will be back to those place or have those friends or possessions back, the truth is we might not. We need to value everyday for what it is, live in the moment and realize we are not here forever. For me, death is my number one fear, maybe for others too, but I try not to think about it and enjoy life while I can. I get joy from simple things like nature, sunsets flowers, trees, and try not to let a day pass by where I regret something. I think people do not value or treasure what they have because they do think that they are immortal and are going to live to see tomorrow but the sad truth is we might not. But the good thing about a timeline is you cannot procrastinate about life goals as much you only have about one hundred years to experience what you can, if that. Some other people also are satisfied and ready to go, they know they have lived a happy and satisfying life and are ready to go. In general you have to realize you cannot take what you have for granted because it might not always be there for you. Bottomline, we are mortal and one day we will die, hard pill for me to swallow but I try not to think about it, but I cope by treasuring everyday given to me.
