Hand on heart.Do you live everyday like it might be your last?

Question

or do you miss chances whilst striving for prefection

Answer 1

No I don't as I have to work to live.

Answer 2

yes I really do ..I even wrote a note in case something happened to me

Answer 3

Effectively I live so that I'll never say "I should have done that"

Theres lots of things you cant do due to financial and time restrictions , but that dont stop you seeing people , phoning people going to places nearby , doing small good deeds etc.

Answer 4

No,I live every day HOPING it's my last!

Answer 5

Somehow I doubt that anyone who was really living their life like it was their last would be spending that precious time on YA.Wouldn't be high up on my priority list of must do's before I go TBH.

Answer 6

Hand on heart; no I dont.

Work kinda gets in the way :(

Answer 7

h**l no. If i did i would be broke, 30 stones and riddled with the clap

Answer 8

Yes I do.

I actually did die once, from a bee sting & they had to bring me back.

Even though many health issues happened after that I found a new sense of what life is all about & appreciate every single day!

Answer 9

I spend most days fighting to ensure I can live another day.

Answer 10

I can mirror what Freya is saying. Having been through a fair few 'ordeals' does make you see things a bit more clearly.

I don't think living it like it's your last means the same to me as others. I have no wish to jump out of airplanes or travel the world. I'd be happy for a day to be my last as long as everyone I love knows how much I love them.

I'm convinced life is taking pleasure in the small everyday stuff. The major highs and lows are few and far between. It's the everyday stuff in the middle that keeps me happy.

Answer 11

I try to live every day like it might be my last but it's really hard trying to convince the girls i know that it's their last day too.Woof Woof.  

Answer 12

You should, one day you'll be right.

Answer 13

As old as I am, yes.

And no one is perfect.

But Michael Phelps did his best. <}:-})

Answer 14

Hand on heart, I try to, but I don't always succeed!!

Answer 15

No I don't I just take each day as it comes, I try to enjoy my life as much as is possible and I never think of it as being my last day.

Answer 16

NO.I'm too busy thinking about the children's lives at the moment to worry about mine.When it gets to their bedtime,i'm too tired to think about life.

Answer 17

No, but i should. Everytime we read about bomb scares, i wonder if i'll make it home in the evening...yes, everyday is precious & should be treated so.

Answer 18

If I were to live as you suggested, and approach every day as though it were my last I would throw away my computer and start engaging more with the real world. I certainly wouldn't be on Yahoo Answers!

Answer 19

No, if I did I would have died years ago from exhaustion or liver damage...

I haven't missed out on anything I wanted from life, perfection is a crock

Answer 20

no i don't. I'm happy today, don't get me wrong, but I think tomorrow will be better. There are of course days that can't be matched.

Answer 21

erm, no i ashamed to say.. life takes over and sometimes you have to do things that you don't really want to .. i.e if I knew it was my last day.. would i do that sinkful of dishes??? not on your nelly, but because i trust there will be a tomorrow... i do 'em !!!

Answer 22

I cant honestly say I live everyday like it might my last because when laziness take over I admit that I will just not do anything all day…not proud of that but such is life  

Answer 23

I do not concern myself with such things.

Answer 24

Of course I don't,some days i cruise,other i drag my *** through but rarely I live every minute for all it's worth.

Neither do I strive for perfection,ever !!

I get through,do what I need to.Live one day to the next.

Certain days,not often thou,,I know thing's are falling my way,the things I really want (I don't mean material possessions) come about.These days I savour and relish for all they're worth.

Answer 25

Why you up so early?????????

Yes i live each day as if it's my last btw :)))

Answer 26

I would like to try to, but then life takes over and I am there in the thick of it.  

This may not make sense to most people but it makes sense to me.  

Anyway, I sincerely believe I am here for the long haul.

Hi Haz.  there's a rainbow somewhere. : -- >

EDIT.

Shakey has seen it!!  ha ha

Answer 27

No, i'm too busy thinking what it is that i have to do today......it often exhausted me to the fact I'd do nothing!!!
