Today in the ladies' room at work, I found something unusual on the sink counter. I didn't think much of it, but upon closer inspection, I saw that it was a business card for a funeral home. I thought it was odd that someone had left it in the bathroom, but then another thought entered my mind.
One day, someone is going to have to call a funeral home for me. That telephone number will be the last phone call for me. So before that happens, what will I do with my life? Whenever we lose a loved one, we spend time to mourn and reflect on their life, and perhaps for a little while, we ourselves get inspired to make the most out of our own lives. But most of the time, I find myself slipping back into my comfort zones and I'm not "living as if everyday were my last."
So, what if we all had a daily reminder that we are not here forever? What if every time you opened up your wallet, you saw a business card for a funeral home? Would that remind you that our days are precious? Are you really doing what you want to be doing?
