Live Like We're Dying

Yesterday, was such a long exhausting day for me becasue I had to work 12.5 hours which is never an easy shift. In my line of work as a nurse I get the opportunity to meet so many new people. I get to take care of patients which no patient is ever like the patient next door. Some make me frustrated, some make me smile, but yesterday couple patients definatly taught me so much in just a short time talking with them.
It took me awhile, but I have finally realize that what happens in life God is not to blame for any of it. No matter, what happens we are all put through tests through hard times because the strong ones always pull through. God gives us no more than what he thinks we can handle plain and simple. Everybody has the right to have their bad days, but one of my patients no matter what I said to her she just kept feeling upset. She was blaming God for the reason why she was the way she is and just wanted to pity from anybody who entered her room. I explained to her that God is not to blame and that she is like this because he knew she was strong enough for the job that if this happpened to anybodyelse then maybe they wouldn't be as strong as her. It just seemed like nothing I said to her was going to help and it was like I failed. That my job is to help others to get people through to make them believe and it just wasnt happening. I wasn't joining her pity party because I realized when a person is that down on themselves that only they can help themselves nobodyelse. No matter what a person says or does when you are dug that deep in sadness they need to find a way to dig themselves out to breath again. People focus too much on the negatives in their life instead of focusing on the positives the way more important part.
One of the smartest people I know once told me "Just take it one day at a time, one step at a time and things should work out like its suppose to." I never took the time to actually listen and comphrend what this person told me because I never believed things would be ok and by slowing things down taking one moment at a time would help anything. Lately, I have had time to just sit and focus on myself and slow things up a bit because honestly I was going through life way too fast. I never stopped to focus on the small things and just focused on that moment instead of looking at tomorrow or a few days from now. Life does fly by and I believe that everybody honestly takes life for granted no matter what the case may be. I will admit that I take things, people, and life for granted but that is all in the past and I'm focusing on today.
I believe everybody should LIVE LIKE WE'RE DYING because once we are gone we are gone and there is no turning back not now and not ever.
