Valuing Time

The Bucket list is a comedy-drama film starred by two academy-award winners Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. It is a touching film that shows that it is never too late to live life to its fullest... sometimes; you just need a deadline to get your life in gear (warner bros.).

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? ~Stephen Levine

Life is too short to be wasted. We think that we have all the time to enjoy and explore the things in life without knowing that tomorrow may never come anymore.Tomorrow is always an unpredictable thing. We may find ourselves planning for something only to find out that we have done something else. We rejoice and sometimes regret for the things we have accomplished for.

"If there is something better than sharing with others the best of what you have, it is sharing the best of WHO you are."

I, personally, get myself tied up with my work that I sometimes fail to appreciate the people around me. Though, I never missed to greet and smile at them, but am I really sharing my best with them? We couldn't afford to let the day pass without valuing the blessings God has given us. What matters is how we express our love and time with people and other things God has given us to enjoy at the present. If we are to look at life, it is a constant struggle of bringing out our best effort to express who we really are and what we are here for. Our everyday encounter gives us the experience that couldn't be brought back again. It is always a once in a lifetime experience.


Everyday is a new day and everyday is a renewal of our faith. Whatever we share now will leave a mark in this lifetime and will be forever cherished and will endure forever. That is the reason why we are called at this very moment not just to live and love... but to express and share it with others!Let us not wait to fulfill our dreams in our bucket list (a collection of all the things they wanted to do, see, and experience in life before they kicked the bucket) when the time is too limited. Yes, it is never too late to live life to the fullest... but why do we have to wait when we can do them now. THE TIME IS NOW.
