Live Life to the Fullest

One Day Too Late

40
Live Life to the Fullest
Ajay Joseph

Imagine you have $84,600 in a bank account every morning. It carries no balance day to day and you can’t make any deposits, only withdrawals. At night, the bank deletes whatever portion you didn’t spend and you can never get that money back. Essentially that’s money wasted. And wasting money is not wise. So what do you do? Draw out every cent of course.

See each of us has a bank. The bank is called time. Every morning it’s filled with 84,600 seconds for you to use. If you fail to use the daily deposits, the loss is yours. Like I said earlier, you can’t carry over money – time – you didn’t use the next day. You must live in the deposits of the present. Use it and invest in happiness, health, joy, and success. The clock is ticking. Make the most of today.

I really like the phrase "one day too late" because tomorrow isn't a guarantee. The next second, even the next breath you take isn't a guarantee. We only have the moment we're in. I think there is more to life than just holding grudges against other people. Sometimes people hold grudges for years and when something thatcomplicated is stored inside someone for so long? It can make you sick.

We're alive. Now. Don't take your time to make the most of it. I know the phrase "make the most of every moment" is cliche and cheesy, but I do think it holds a lot of truth to it. Even something as mundane as doing homework is a blessing because there are people all over the world who want an education.


The time is now to be happy and live life to the fullest. Because tomorrow could be one day too late.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
