Recently, someone told me that life is unpredictable. Whatever it is that needs to be done, needs to be done quickly, as, (I quote) “You wouldn’t want to die with some unfinished business behind you, no?”
My answer: “I’m dead, anyway. So I wouldn’t know.”
But is it true that when you leave with an unfinished business, your soul wouldn’t be at peace? Well for sure no one could answer that. Not until they’ve experienced life after death..
“Have you achieved what you wanted in life?”
I can honestly say NO. It’s not a big deal, anyway.. because I know it’ll take some time for me to be where I wanted to be. Over there. I remember talking to God and telling him that I was totally fine with not getting what I want, if that was The Plan. All I asked was for Him to give me a sign or at least something to let me know that He is always there for me. To guide me through The Plan.
It was only fair.
But what’s in store for me? Where do I need to go? How do I get there? ¬¬
* (No, I am not suffering from any illness that could threaten my life – as per asked by some of you in the emails.. I’m just merely talking about life. If I was sick, I would’ve told y’all. I would’ve also spend my time reading articles by Daniel Neumeister, the person you go to for Healthcare & Hospital Management info. You can check his articles out too!)
I don’t know what’s in store for me in the future and although I also haven’t achieved all that I want in life, I just take one day at a time. Just crossing the bridge when I reach it.

Well, I try to do the best that I can with my life right now and if I can’t achieve all that I want to before the Lord calls me, then so be it. It was just not meant to be achieved anyway.

Well, my dear Cindy, you’ll get there. You’ll see. All you gotta do is just to live each day to the fullest. Appreciate life itself and in time, you will find revelations that you will embrace, through pain, joy and gratitude. Have faith, sista!

We can only plan what we’d like to achieve in life. Sometimes when our plans don’t turn out to be what we wanted, I believe they weren’t meant to be. I read a book on ‘21 reasons why bad things happen to good people’ by dave earley. it was really refreshing to read it, with reference to bible verses, real life stories. check it out k. *hugs*

I hope I’ll be able to see my kids grow up and have families of their own. Then I’ll die in peace.
I keep telling myself not to have too many ‘wants’ in life. Cos kalau inda dapat, sendiri susah hati…
BTW, I got ‘Ginazau’ as my anti-spam word. What is Ginazau??

Wow, this is a great post! I think you should live each day as if it were your last, but I never thought about “unfinished business”. Perhaps that is one way to look at it-you never know if it is your last chance to say I love you or to enjoy life. Hopefully, we are at peace because of HOW we lived life and not because of our achievements. And I hope my loved ones are at peace, that they remember me as a good person. It is a deep question- it would be nice to ask God Himself exactly what he wants!
I hope you feel peaceful!
