Too Short To Be Small

I think, Life is too short..

**to worry
**not to make the best and the most of everything that comes your way
**to live cheap
**to put off what can be done today
**to hold grudges
**to be someone else
**not to smile

**to constantly point fingers at others

**not to be able to let go
**to long for the future while the present is getting wasted
**to whinge everyday
**not to forgive
**to diet :)
**to be mean and vengeful
**not to give
**to be unhappy when you CAN be happy
**to forget your loved-ones amidst your busy life
**to always go by rules
**to wait for things to happen
**not to count your blessings

**not to see the good in people
**to stay angry for too long

**to engage in empty speech such as defaming people and spreading rumors
**not to see the bigger picture

**not to LIVE


Im sure many of you here are well aware of all that already, and are living life to the fullest, for today and to the best of your abilities. As cliche as it may sound, life is indeed quite short...I believe in that quote. Why? Well, I didnt know one February morning I'd find my 44yr old dad not waking up at all...I didn't know my cheerful friend Dan had committed suicide at the age of 25 one Tuesday afternoon, until I received that dreadful call from another friend...I didn't know Janice my blog friend would die during childbirth and that we'd never chat again...I didn't know that I'd never see my granma again after I kissed her sweet face Goodbye in Auckland few years ago...I didn't know my 2 dear uncles in their early 40s working as Police officers in wartorn Sri Lanka, would die from LTTE landmines...I didn't know my aunt M would die of Cancer all of a sudden at the age of 45, leaving her 3 young daughters behind. Yes I didn't know...but now I do. And you know, Life is really short...too short to put off Love, when you can give, share and spread it right now. (thats me with my darling granma on my last visit to NZ before she died)


And now it's your turn to fill in the blanks. Take it from your personal experiences and observations, and share them with us. Life is too short to (/not to)....? And also, do tell me which one(s) in my above list appealed to you the most. Thanks in advance. Happy LIVING guys....yes live, don't just exist...go tell your loved-ones today that you love them and care about them...put that old grudge in the bin...stop wasting time finding faults in people...patch up...make the most of this one life that you've got...have fun...be an inspiration to others. I dedicate this post to my dearest granma...I hope you're in a happy place Ma, MWAH!
