Some Food for Thought While Coming Into the New Year

As 2015 quickly approaches and so many of us are looking to set new years resolutions and goals in looking to better the year ahead, I ask you to take a deep look within and reflect on the words I've written below:

There's no day but today
no moment other than now
no certain amount of time you've been given
to figure it all out

It's only here and now
that you are guaranteed
No time outs, do overs or next times will succeed

This is it
so make the best of what you've got
learn and laugh and love a lot

Follow your heart,
no holding back
now is not the time to slack

For if you die tomorrow,
will it be okay?
If it happens tonight,
will that be alright?

In your dying hours
when life begins to cease
will you be able to rest in peace?

Do you feel solace
in who you are and who you've been
or would you be begging to do it over again?

Are you ready
to let go
to face the light?
Content with the life you've lived
up til tonight?
