Fragile Life

You have often heard people talk about the fragility of life, right?
All of these doctors holding newborn babies or just the plain sight of a dead person after a crash.
We don't realize, as humans, that we could die at any moment.
For instance, if you walk out the door, go to work, and crash in your car on your way?

Now, after imagining a tragedy like that consider these questions.
Have you accomplished everything in life that you wanted to?
Did you reach those dreams you have often dreamed of?
Did you tell your loved ones that you loved them?

So many hurt people in this world are affected by the choices we make in our lives.
You may not think that you are hurting anybody when you drink or smoke.
In fact, you are killing other people besides yourself just the same.
It is impossible to smoke or drink inside a box.
Secondhand smoke is prevalent to the people around you, as well as, the fact that you may drive when you are drunk and may take someone else's life because you drank too much.

What I'm trying to say is, take a look at your life from behind the looking glass (out of body, from the outer world's perspective.)
Are you taking care of the fragile life and breath that you possess?
Are you guarding your heart?
I will tell you right now that the heart is the wellspring of life, both spiritually, emotionally, and physically!
Do you protect it?
