Week 15-any last words?

If I knew my time was running short, I would make my last moments worth it. I would make sure to do those things on my "to do before I die" list. Some of these things include sky diving, riding a mechanical bull, going surfing, running a marathon, visiting Europe, and going sailing in the caribbean. These are some of the more materialistic things I want to get done before I die. The more important things though would probably be spending time with family and friends. I would want to resolve any unresolved conflicts or grudges that I had or others had towards me. I don't really want anyone to be happy when I die. I would also make sure I was completely repented of every sin I've ever committed. I definitely want to end up in the Celestial Kingdom because I'm pretty sure that's where the rest of my family is going. It would also be very important for me to let all of my family and friends know how much I love them and how much they mean to me. I would want to tell specific people how great of an effect they have had on my life and helping me to become the person I am today. I would live my last moments to the fullest and make the most out of everything I do. I would give others the advice that you never know when your time will be cut short, so make the most of it. It goes by way too fast, so make it worth it. Love everyone, make lots of friends, be crazy, don't worry about what other people think of you, laugh ALWAYS, have fun, don't be afraid to cry, go out of your way to be kind to others, serve often because it will benefit both you and the receiver more than you know, go to church, do what's right, be smart, but not stingy, let loose every once in awhile, don't be afraid to dance like a fool, and smile big! These are some of the things I have learned up to this point in my life and so that is the advice I would want to pass on.

  1. I agree with you I don't really want everyone to be happy when I die. I hope they miss me lots...and then they can be happy just hope they keep me in their minds. :)

  2. Your advice is probably the best posted on this blog so far, or at least the one that made the most points. I hope that I can live my life in a way that I can affect so many people for good that when I have my funeral, all those people will attend. I know that is a weird goal to have a ton of people at your funeral BUT I would hope I was able to help that many people in a very positive way.
