What if you woke up in the morning and knew that that was the last time you'd be waking up? The "I'll do it tomorrow" and the "see you next week" won't exist anymore. All of the goals, aspirations, hopes, and dreams will flow into a stream of nothingness. Optimistic, right?

As individual people, we are all born with a specific purpose and over time develop dreams that we all hope to someday see come true. We're all gathered together on this one planet and somehow we're supposed to figure life out. We're all different in so many ways, but the thing is that we are also somehow the same. We are human.

We all die.

Each of us must sit back and think about what we want people to know about us once we've passed. Will we want them to remember the accomplishments we've had or the good times we spent together? What will anyone remember as soon as they hear your name after you've died?

It sounds morbid, that's for sure, but it's just a part of life. I find myself often in conversations with people, talking about one question: If you could know what day you were going to die, would you want to know? Would you change any behaviors, the people you talk to, or the things you say?

Everyday is not guaranteed. At any moment any one of us could die and the truth is that if you're not living the way you want to be remembered, then you're not living at all.

So, how do you change the way that people may remember you? The easiest way to answer...you can't. You have no control over what people think of you or what things they remember you doing. But if today was your last day, will you even be worried about what others may remember of you?

I don't know that you'll ever know the answer to that.

If today was your last day, would you go out and do all of those adventurous things that every human has on their bucket list? Would you go skydiving, do everything you could never do before, or tell everyone how you feel about them? Hopefully, the way that you live is the way that you're remembered.

If today was my last day, I'd make sure they knew I loved them. I'd make amends and I would make sure that I did the best I could to end my life on a note that others could be proud of.

I'd want people to remember when I stood up for what is right, made a dumb joke, or encouraged them when they needed it. I'd want people to remember the days I showed up with all smiles and hugs, and forget all of the days I showed up crying with cuts up my hands. I'd want people to remember me as a good person.

In order to have people remember those good things about you, whatever they may be, you have to keep those things in mind while operating in life.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's important to remember that not everyday is promised. The process of living is concurrent with the process of dying...people forget that a lot. Live life in a way that makes you okay with knowing that any day could be your last.

Remember that at any moment, you could have your last. What would YOU do with it?

How would YOU want to be remembered?
