Imagine There's No Heaven

 For the sake of argument, imagine there is no heaven. How would that impact your behavior? Would you just go wild live like there's no tomorrow, with reckless abandon? Or would you live deliberately and make every moment count knowing there are no second chances? Would you give up or would you choose to act? What changes would you make personally?

Let's assume there are no second chances and this is it; your home is earth. Think carefully about the choices left. I choose to assume there possibly might be heaven, but I am agnostic and pragmatic, so I am not going to take any chances. This means, I am going to take care of this earth as much as I can and the people surrounding me. I've made a choice to enjoy every wake moment I have and absorb the last drop of life I have, in case, just what if there's no heaven. I choose to improve my mental health and add balance to my life. You see I live here now, this is my home and I want to make it better not only for me and my family but for those who live here with me. We share this home. While the streets aren't paved with gold there's plenty to absorb and appreciate today.

Nature adds balance to our lives. There's a teaming life out there going on and transacting every day. We need to learn its lessons. Get along and live. While heaven may appeal to many, the idea of living a millennium with intolerant judgemental people and a perpetual HOA doesn't appeal to me. I choose to carve out heaven here and make life here, now, better. I live now in the present. We can do better, if we choose to see this is our home. Make a difference. Say something. Do something. Don't wait. Don't postpone.
