I just had an interesting thought after watching this movie. Yeah call me a loser for blogging after I thought it would be awhile from now. The movie was about this chef who is a mute. He is a great cook but more importantly he has the passion to help people out of there probs. The sad part is that he has this condition where he has an air bubble in his brain and that it might burst. And if it bursts then boom his life is over. He believes that he has an expiration date on his life now. So he chooses to live out his remaining days to helping everyone to the best of his abilities. Towards the end of the movie, it looked like he was about to die but little do you know he survives. And all the people he helped now had a different look on life. The people all had some sort of risk they were afraid to take and seemed complacent (sp?) at where they were at. All of a sudden they all changed and took each other's own risk all because of one man.

I love helping people, there is nothing better than to see the joy of others being happy. I always wondered what if I knew my expiration date of my life. Who would I change how I live or how I did things? What if everyone knew they there were gonna pass away? How would we all live then? Death comes to us all, well physically at least. What if like my expiration date was to be tomorrow or now? Did I ever leave some sort of legacy here for others to follow? Did I help people overcome there fears or maybe change how someone lives there lives now? Ultimately, no one knows when they will die, only God knows. if everyone knew when they would die, would they take on more challenges? Would I do the same thing? I guess I've been thinking about this for the past 24 hours after listening to this wanna be Cher singing "If I Could Turn Back time" and being asked if I could do things differently, would I change how I did things? I wish I knew that answer, parts of me wanna say yes because of what You have taught me now Lord. Then again parts of me wanna say no because I am a bit ignorant and stubborn as well.

Like I said before, live for the moment
