Terminal…

Terminal.
Eight letters that strike fear into the hearts of man.

What if your doctor told you today that you are terminal?
What if you found out you had a finite amount of time left on this Earth?
What if you found out you were going to die?

How would this information change your priorities?
What would become more important to you?
What might become important to you, that was never important in the past?

What thoughts would circulate in your mind?
Things you may have never thought about, but now, cannot stop thinking about?

Would you think about spending time with your kids?
Would you think of places you’ve never been?
Would you think of the goals left incomplete, or maybe never started?
Will you consider how you’ll be remembered when you are gone?
Would you fulfill your dreams?
Would you make peace and have better relationships?
Would you want spiritual healing?
Would you ponder eternity?

What changes would you make in this life?

Well…
I’ve got some really bad news. You are terminal, just as I am terminal.
Every single one of us is terminal.
We are not getting out of this physical existence alive!!

We may have years or decades to live, instead of days or months…
Or we could be gone tomorrow.
No matter.
Our days are numbered.

Knowing this, will you start on that list above?
Will you start thinking about the things that matter most?
Will you ponder eternity, and take it seriously?
What are you doing to prepare for your demise?
Are you ready?
What changes will you make, starting today?
