Give it.

What if you knew the exact moment you were going to die?


What would you do?

Who would you see?


Where would you want to be?

What would be the last thing you would say?


These things are so hard to think about.... these questions force you to determine the most important people, and places, values, and things in your life.
But life is ever changing.

One moment you are in high school, working a simple job, excited for each next paycheck, the next you are in Spain letting your heart get accustomed to the people and culture, then you are at college, studying (thinking it will never end), you join a group of people and you connect with them, you fall in love,  you finally graduate, you get married, then you are at a job where you like the people but sometimes hate the work, but then you come home and have dinner with your children, and then they are going through the same cycle.....


We all have our own stories, but they are united by the fact that they are ever changing. Where you are in this moment May or very well May Not predict where you will be next.

To say, "live each moment as if it is your last" is idealistic and irresponsible. But to say, "find life in each moment" means you will truly live all the way until one of those moments is your last.
And the truth is not everyone can say they lived all their lives.

Some moments are sad, some are angry, some are unsure, some are joyful, some are sorrowful, some are serene..... Find life in each one.
And give life in each moment. There are plenty of people taking, shredding, and destroying life. Why not give life? Encourage, build up, invoke laughter, spark curiosity.....

This is life. Give it.
