Having a short life should not mean that we don't make good use of it.We shouldn't live in anxiety or fear,instead we should live it to the fullest.Perhaps one could use it to realize one last aspiration.May be to have one last dinner with a close friend,anything but to waste it being depressed.
The millions of fireflies that roam the night sky.Most of them probably won't get a chance to experience the raise of day.Yet they roam around joyfully,passing forward happiness.Do not go gently into that good night.

It’s hard, from within the
storm of every day life, to see
things with real perspective, to know
what’s important and what’s
simply pressing on our consciousness
right now, demanding attention.
We have people emailing us for
information and requesting action, we
have phone calls and visitors and
a long to-do list and a million
chores and errands to run and
all of the slings and arrows of
our daily reality … and yet, what
is important?
Ask yourself this: if you
suddenly found out you only had 6
months to live (for whatever reason),
would the thing in front of you
matter to you?
Would those 20 emails waiting for
a response matter? Would the paperwork
waiting to be processed matter? Would
the work you’re doing matter?
Would the meetings you’re supposed
to have matter? Would a big car
and nice house and high-paying job
and cool computer and mobile device
and nice shoes and clothes
matter?
I’m not saying they
wouldn’t matter … but it’s
important to ask yourself if they
would.
What would matter to you?
For many of us, it’s the
loved ones in our lives. If we
don’t have loved ones … maybe
it’s time we started figuring
out why, and addressing that. Maybe
we haven’t made time for
others, for getting out and meeting
others and helping others and being
compassionate and passionate about others.
Maybe we have shut ourselves in
somehow. Or maybe we do have
loved ones in our lives, but we
don’t seem to have the time
we want to spend with them.
When was the last time you
told your loved ones you loved
them? Spent good quality time with
them, being in the moment?
For many of us, doing work
that matters … would matter. That
might mean helping others, or making
a vital contribution to society, or
creating something brilliant and inspiring,
or expressing ourselves somehow. It’s
not the money that matters, but
the impact of the work. Are you
doing work that matters?
For many of us, experiencing
life would matter — really being in
the moment, finding passion in our
lives, seeing the world and traveling,
or just seeing the world that’s
around us right now, being with
great people, doing amazing things,
eating amazing food, playing.
These are just a few ideas …
but what would matter to you?
I highly recommend that you
spend at least a little time
now, and regularly, thinking about
this question … figuring out what
really matters … and living a life
that shows this.
How do you live a life
that puts a great emphasis on
what matters? Start by figuring out
what matters, and what doesn’t.
Then eliminate as much as you
can of the stuff that doesn’t
matter, or at least minimize it
to the extent possible. Make room
for what does matter.
Make the time for what does
matter … today. Put it on your
schedule, and don’t miss that
appointment. Make those tough decisions —
because choosing to live a life
that is filled with the important
stuff means making choices, and
they’re not always easy choices.
But it matters.
Spend time with your significant
other, show them how important they
are. Take the time to cuddle
with your child, to read with
her, to play with her, to have
good conversations with her, to take
walks with her. Take time to be
in nature, to appreciate the beauty
of the world around us. Take
time to savor the little pleasures
in life.
Because while you might not have
only 6 months to live, I’m here
to break the news to you: you
really do only have a short
time to live. Whether that’s 6
months, 6 years or 60 … it’s but
the blink of an eye.
The life you have left is
a gift. Cherish it. Enjoy it
now, to the fullest. Do what
matters, now.
