Read somewhere that writing down your life goals can actually help it to materialize. Assuming that this is my favourite down-the-street cafe paper napkin with Girl from Ipanema ringing in the background, I would want to:
1. Go Nepal & Tibet
2. Travel the Silk Road
3. Sit on the Trans-Siberian train
4. Go bungee-jumping
5. Sky dive
6. Be rich
7. and knowledgable
8. Have a wedding BBQ (I love to dance on the grass without shoes!)
9. Travel around South-East Asia to photograph happiness. People are happy albeit having close to nothing.
10. Learn to cure
11. Speak five languages
12. Swim
13. Send letters to God
14. Start an orphanage together with a farm (children and animals sounds like trouble yah?)
15. Have my own talkshow!
16. Meet the Dalai Lama
17. Touch a whale
18. Buy up New York - oh but why not? OK not buy the entire Big Apple but I guess living the life of at least one SATC gal would be sooo nice.
19. Enrich lives - empower women - touch lost souls
20. Fly a plane

Blah
Procrastination got the better of me. I should be shot to death, it would make my life so much easier to live. I decide to spend the last valuable hours of today by reading blogs. I should be writing on Fear Mantras. Blogs of friends, of strangers and semi-friends-semi-strangers. It's actually very fascinating. I wonder if reading them would actually count as my 'reading quota' of today.
Probably not.
But anyway, which brings me to ask you for your opinion. What would you do if you had Time?
Top 10 Things when the molecules of Time and MableTV combines. It sparks:
1. Plenty of thoughts about Life = depression sets in
2. A debate on Love = albeit unanswerable = depression sets in
3. A whole lot of muscle inactivity. I am deduced to blinking and breathing = depression
4. Everyday should be called TGFB (Thank God for Books) = counter depression
5. Unfortunate visits to the masseuer. I am black, blue, green, purple red all over. And I'm NOT exaggerating. (THIS is so I will get better) = physical depression
6. Sing my blessings. I swear I'm an accidental writer. I'm so grateful for that = counter depression
7. Speaking baby gurgles = mental depression
8, 9, 10: I'm too lazy to think = mental overhaul
Probably not.

Live Like You Were Dying
By Tim McGraw
He said, "I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
And talking 'bout the options, and talking 'bout sweet time"
I asked him, "When it sank in, that this might really be the real end
How's it hit ya when you get that kind of news
Man, what'd ya do?"
He said
"I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chew
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin"
And he said, "Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin"
He said, "I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden, goin' fishing wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I, I finally read the Good Book
And I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
Like tomorrow was a gift
And you got eternity to think about what'd you do with it
What would you do with it
What did I do with it
What would I do with it

Borrowed Time
You've heard every cliche in this world that time is precious. Or something to that effect. But it is easy to forget about time and people and life when things are going for us. The green flow of plenty - life, youth and health. But if we live each day on borrowed time, there is so much that you can see, feel, touch, smell and taste and love because living in debt makes everything sweeter. More treasured.
Love deeper. Sing louder. Speak softer.
Never assume that this life is infinite. It's just a loan from God. So if tomorrow never comes, you'd know you did well. No woulda, coulda, shoulda.
