It is easy to die

I am guilty...

I am guilty of the one thing I blame everyone around me for...
I am guilty of the very act I see and detest...
I am guilty of the same unconscious behaviour that I see in family members, friends and colleagues...
I am guilty of not living in the very moment and constantly worrying about the next...

I am guilty of living like it is not easy to die!

It is easy to die with all the big dreams, all the beautiful plans, the unborn in your loins and the unfulfilled visions in your destiny.

It is easy to die without saying goodbye. While you are innocently on your way to work, home or even to church.

It is easy to die because you need not be active in the act.
You need not be the one who decides.
You need not even see it coming.
My friends...it is so flipping easy to die.

So start living the dreams. Start chasing the visions. Start having the children. Start that business. Quit that job. Leave that random lover. Be a blessee if that sets your heart on fire. Be a blesser! Kiss. Kiss a boy! Kiss a girl! See if you like it (LOL). Make love. Dance in the rain. Cry! Laugh! Gym...chase that body you want. Run that marathon. Give back! Learn! Grow! Learn a new language. Travel to a new part of South Africa. Heck!!! Travel the world! Travel Africa! READ. Say "I love you". Sing. Sing loud. Sing along to Beyonce and Katy Perry and all the other great sing along starts (lol). Learn to dab (not really). Go to a wedding and cry. Admire the innocence of laughter. Make a child smile. Kiss your mom while you can. Let your random father enjoy his life. Bless someone. Hug someone. Be kind. Fart...take in all your flavours :) fight. Disagree respectfully. Be someone who you are proud of. Make peace. Stay making peace. At a time when the world is looking to get something out of friendships, be the guy/gal that gives. Go back to school. Finish that degree. Get that MBA. Use that MBA. Say bye to your boss. Fight for what you believe is right, but be tactful. Start...because many who have left without wanting to leave probably had this thought...in those last seconds...in that moment of realising what was happening...

Live a full life.
Be unapologetic about your ish!
Get comofortable in your own skin.

Because it hit me...like a big car crash...an awakening of sorts...
My dear friends...its flipping easy to die!
Live FULLY while you can.
