A bird on your shoulder? about dreams and life (cheesy stuffs)

alright its time for another post of random thoughts
so its going to be a little bit preachy
turst me, i dont like people 讲耶稣 myself, coz some of them is just really unrealistic and unpractical =(

but recently, i came across a movie based on a true story about a dying old man who is very wise (nop,not Dumbledore =.=)

it really caught my attention.

in the movie, he talks about how people are throwing their life away everday
and how good will it be if all of them had a bird on their shoulder to remind them.(younger generation)

so basicly here's how it works.( or at least to my understanding..)

imagine there's a bird on your shoulder
and everyday you wake up
you look to your shoulder ask the bird:
''so..is this it? is it the day i'm going to die?
''i'm ready?"
''am i leading the life that i've always wanted?''
''am i going to regert anything if the lights goes off today?''

but how does this make any sense?
well, as you all know,every people have their own dreams to follow.
we r always looking forward to this and that
we spent alot of time thinking about what will we do when that very moment come
in other words..most of us is living in the future
sometimes,to the extends that we dont really care what's happening now.

if we know that we re going to die tomorrow.
we ll be living our life differently.
those things we really want to do, but delayed because we r afraid, or thinking that there will always be tomorrow.
i bet we will do it all in a day

having dreams and expectations in life is always great
but we must also live our life to the fullest everyday!

and fullest does not mean jam packing your days with activities
but instead live the life u wanted to live, and be the person you wanted to be.
because we would't know when our plugs will be pulled
and when it happens, i really wanna be ready for it =)

so, have you ask the bird on your shoulder today?
