If I Die Today (Motivational Speech)

If I die today would I be proud of the life I lived?

Death, It's the one thing that puts everything else into perspective
Thinking about your own death, can be the best thing you can do for your life
And how you live your life before you die

Why? Because it forces you to reflect on some very important questions
If I die tomorrow
Was I happy?
Would I be proud of the person I have become?
Was there love in my life?
Did I give enough love?
Did I show those I love the real me
Did I live the life i wanted to live?
Or was my life made up of things I should've let go?
How could I have brought more happiness to my life and the people I really cared about?
Could I have done things better? Differently? How?
Will I be missed?
What will I leave behind?
Will anyone on earth be better because I was there?

Thinking about your own death forces you to self- examine your life
And gives you the opportunity to take responsibility for that life
For the areas that you have not been at your best
And therefore the opportunity to decide to do better from this moment forward

Sitting alone, with your thoughts
And thinking about your passing
Is perhaps the healthiest thing you can do for your life
If you want to improve it
And the truth is, none of us know if we are going to wake up tomorrow
None of us come here to earth with any guarantees

This is why we should all, very often
Think about the only real guarantee
And this is of our death
And the possibility it might be sooner than we think
And because of that leave nothing for tomorrow
If you don't like who you've been up to this moment
Make a change and make it now
If you have a broken relationship with someone you really love
Mend it now
If you can give more love
Give it now
If you can play more and work less
Decide and commit to do that now
If you can do anything to improve the quality of your life
Make that commitment now
Write down everything you must change in your life now
Everything that can not wait for tomorrow
Every phone call you need to make
Every apology
Every hug you need to give
Everything you need to say
Decide to stop caring about what other people think of you

Start living the life you really want to live
Start feeling the way you deserve to feel
Start loving the way you want to love
Bring your defences down
Drop your guard and open your heart

Write a list of the amazing experiences you're going to commit to experience before you go
Think about how much better all of your relationships will be when you open up
When you are your true self
When you are present
Living in the moment and let go of all care for others opinions and judgements
Think about the amazing life you can live when you let go of societies expectations and the seriousness most people live with
Get excited about your life
Love your life while you're living it

Your new life starts now
