Live it like its your last ...

Howdy! Well this past week has been a pretty good one. Last weekend i was down in Salt Lake City Utah for General Conference. It was a way spiritual experience and I am glad i was able to go. Also this past week i had some free time and i was watching a show called: The Buried Life.
It's a show about four friends that travel around the country living their bucket list. They made a list of 100 things they want to do before they die and they're living it. They left on their journey with a promise,  they promised that for everything they completed and were able to cross off their list they would help a complete stranger cross off something they wanted to do. For example, in one episode they were in southern California and wanted to compete in a Krump competition. Krump is a form of dance that really shows emotion and anger. Its a way to express what you're feeling through aggressive dance. The buried life crew wanted to compete and be respected in a Krump competition and while they were in Compton, they met a young man who used to be a gang member and has been in and out of jail and his grandma was always there supporting him, so he wanted to have his music played on the radio so his grandmother could see how he's turned his life around and how she's had an influence in it.
The show is pretty inspiring and it makes me want to be a better person. 
Live life to the fullest and leave nothing back. No regrets. We should all live like each day like its our last. If you want to go bungee jumping, do it. Who's stopping you? It's your life. You choose your own destiny, no one can choose for you, ultimately its your choice. Life is fragile. Take risks, have fun, break rules. Ya there are consequences, but it's better to have lived a life full of fun and excitement then to be on your death bed and wish that you had. I want to be able to tell stories to my kids and grandkids about the times in my life that i lived on the edge and left nothing back.
Go out this week and take a risk.
