This is one
topic that hits home. I’m one of those persons who’ll leave something till the
last minute. And I always shoot in
myself in the foot! Is there such a
thing as one ‘working well under pressure’ or is it just plain laziness put
more subtly.
In the last
week I remember woke up in the morning and had a real moment to myself. And all
of a sudden something struck inside of me that ‘This could be my last day on
earth’. To an average Joe this sounds
silly and contrary to being profound, but I felt so bare and vulnerable in an
instant. Was God trying to tell me who’s skipper of the ship? or was it really ‘it’
for me.
I realized there
and then the arrogance of the human species in thinking tomorrow is ‘owned’ and
guaranteed to us. We wake up everyday, go about our daily living, go to bed
with the notion of tomorrow being ‘yet another day’. It’s been three days since
my ‘incident’ and still finding my way around my whole new outlook and meaning
of my existence. I’ve tried to not leave anything important till the last
minute such as admitting I’m at fault, stopping the ‘snooze on my alarm or
teasing my siblings! I still have a long list of adjustments to be made. Yet I’ve learnt it starts with every blessed
day.
