How long do you have?
You wake up. You go to work. You finish work. You find a bit of evening entertainment. You go to bed. You wake up. You go to work...
Is that your life style at the moment? Is that what you truly enjoy? Is that what you were born for? Is that your true gift?
I just heard that a great Internet Marketer Corey Rudl passed away at the age of 34 in June this year... That was a blow for me. For those who are not familiar with Internet marketing, Corey was a very very successful online entrepreneur. He started his business from his kitchen table just a few short years ago selling a homemade booklet he had written on how to get the best deal on a new car. From that modest start Corey built an internet marketing empire that has generated $40 million dollars in revenue in just a few years.. But he died in a car crash in June this year...
Once again I am reminded of my own mortality... It crosses my mind that we all only live once, and nobody knows what is happening in the next minute. Reading the story of Corey, some of us may say what is the point to be so successful as we all face the same destiny anyway - death. Some of us may say life is short, we better live it to the full.
I am not a passive person. My ideology in life is to go for my dream. The death of Corey made me even more aware that the time is ticking away. There are only two choices for me - to live each day like the last day or to waste each day like I have 100 more years to live. If you were me what would you choose?
Would you want to live a life that when you look back at the very last minute, you know you have done something good to the mankind even though just that tiny amount or the opposite?
I truly believe that we don't come to the earth for no reason. We were made human for a purpose by the Lord. Yours is different from mine.
Are you content with a life that is so wasted that you would be able to tell the Father proudly that you have lived to glorify Him when you see Him?
Maybe you would, but certainly not me. I am fearful to live a useless life. I am fearful to live a life that somebody else wants me to live. I am fearful to live a life that is so conforming to the rules of our culture that I bury my own dream. I am fearful to live a life that does not let me unleash the power within that is given to me by the glory of God...
To me there is only One Life One Journey. You either walk the journey or stay still...
