If there was no tomorrow...

Sometime I wonder, if there was no tomorrow would I act differently? The truth? Definitely! Why? Because there would be no consequences. Because tomorrow is just the consequences of today right? Consequences are what hold us back because we fear them and we are not ready to deal with them. So we hold back today to make sure that tomorrow won’t hurt.


So if there was no tomorrow, would I leave my 9 to 5 work to strike for my dreams? Hell yes! Why? Because money wouldn't matter anymore. I wouldn't have a mortgage to worry about and bills to pay anymore.

If there was no tomorrow, would I learn forgiveness? I guess. Why? Because I wouldn't be able postponed to later. I wouldn't think that I still have time. There wouldn't be better time than now.

If there was no tomorrow, would I take out my savings and travel around the world. Damn straight I would! Why? Because there wouldn’t be any use for saving so I might enjoys life and every penny I have.

Think about it. If there was no tomorrow, would you tell that guy/girl you've been fancying him/her for months? Of course you would! Why? Because if the last thing you could hear on this planet was him/her telling you he/she likes you too, how fantastic that would be? But more important, if he/she don't fancy you at all, there would be no consequences. You wouldn't have to face him/her tomorrow. You wouldn't feel like crap and rejected. It would be just one done deal, something out of your system.

If there was no tomorrow risks would become chances because there wouldn’t be consequences. So without consequences there is no risk, just the chance to makes things better.

A friend once told me that I should live every minute imagining death was behind a door waiting for me. He asked me if I would leave peacefully if death was to take me right now, if I would have regrets.  I realized I would have a bunch of regrets because I was holding back so much. He said it was better to live with remorse than regrets.

I must say, what he told stuck into my mind and never left me after that day. I am not saying to go crazy and irresponsible. Of course, you need some savings but maybe you need some treats from time to time. All the saving in the world wont do you any good if you are not there to enjoy it. Keep your 9 to 5 jobs but make sure you allow yourselves some time to live your dreams and your passions. They might not pay your rent or mortgage but there will surely, in the long run, make a big difference in your quality of life and happiness.

I think what I am saying to you is don’t be so afraid to think outside of the box or treat yourselves. Strike for your dreams and what makes you happy because even if it doesn’t turn out as you would have wished, at least you will know. You wont spend your old days wondering what life would have been if you I told that girl/guy you love her/him. You wont wonder what would have happen if you would have written that book you always dreamed about or start that small business you wanted. Find a balance between the security you need to maintain your daily life and the risk you can take to make your dreams come true.
