What if you had one day to live?

What if you had one day to live?

We watched the “Source Code” with Jake Gyllenhaal over the weekend. It’s a powerful science fiction thriller that has a man living the same eight minutes repeatedly to solve a crime. I know the premise has been done before – but I’ve never seen it done this way.

In the movie, Jake asks his girlfriend what she would do if she knew she only had one minute left to live.

But, I’m willing to give you more time.

What if you had one day – and knew it?

What would you do?

Of course, that awareness would make things really clear, really fast.
It takes you right where you need to go.

Think about it. For just a moment, really think about it.

Someone tells you that you have one day left.

Your mind starts to whirl. Your throat closes up. The panic crushes in. Your loves, wants and failures flash through your mind. And then you realize that, if you just keep standing there thinking about it, you’ll be wasting time.

Precious, present time.

So you…

What?

And you…

Where?

What do you do? And where do you go? And what do you do when you get there?
Or do you stay exactly where you are?

Well, know this.

Whatever you do, wherever you go, whomever you talk to, and whatever you say, right there is your truth. What you want most of all. Or what you most need to make right.

Now, of course, it’s very unlikely that you only have one day left to live.

But what if you did?

What if you did?
