Live Now

What are the most memorable moments of your life?

Without you actually telling me, I'm pretty sure I can answer the question for you. The most memorable moments are those of extreme happiness, extreme sadness, extreme pain, extreme embarrassment or any other form of extreme feeling. Of course you remember other things too, but you can't deny the fact that the most vivid memories are those when you were full of emotion.

We, as humans, tend to take ourselves too seriously sometimes. Especially as we grow older. It seems that there is no longer the need to express oneself in the most outrageous ways possible. We become to concerned about saving facec and not looking bad that we forget how to live properly.

Why allow mundane things control our lives?

It is so important for us to embrace the life that was given to us. Sure, sometimes you just want all the feelings to stop. Trust me, I've been there. There have been times when I just wanted to sit alone, and have the world stop for a while. Stop so I could find some air to breathe.

But even though I felt like I couldn't, I was still breathing. I was still living.

We only get one life. One chance. You either make the most of what you got right now, or you let it slip by while you complain about it the whole time.

Let's face it, life is short. You either make something of yours now, or have your life make no impact on anyone. When you live crazy, you live like there is no tomorrow. You live like today is the last day you'll be alive, like you'll stop breathing the next second. It is so important to love the life given to you.

Recently, the Relay For Life took place here in KL. That's right, Relay For LIFE. It's kinda like a protest against cancer. A strike if you will. Basically, we're saying 'You can't push us around anymore, we want change!'. When you attend and watch the survivors walk, you'll know what I mean.

As terrible as cancer is, it cannot kill the spirit. It cannot kill the resilience that burns so fiercely in some. If you live life crazy, you leave behind your inhibitions. You forget what others may think of you and you do things as you would prefer.

When you live life crazy, you stand out from the crowd. You show everyone how and why you are different. Why you choose to be more outrageous.

Truth is, life is too precious to go to waste.

You know how your parents told you not to waste food when you were younger? Think of life like your dinner. Eat every single scrap and drink every drop from the cup.

Oh, and while you're at it, you might as well lick your plate clean. :)
