C'mon, let's do it!

Now that the year is approaching its end and people have been making a fuss about the maya calendar thing with the end of the world (which made me soooo annoyed), a memory came to me. I was in Istanbul with some wonderful people this fall and one night over dinner, one of them asked: "What would you do if you had one day left to live?" That's probably one of the hardest and most mysterious questions in the world to ponder. 

When you are asked that question, the first thing you do is feel stupid. Why think something like that since the probability of having such a situation is ridiculously small? The second thing you do is twist all kinds of crazy, impossible and a little inappropriate scenarios of those very short 24 hours. However, that question is extremely valuable, 'cause while you try to answer it, you have to dig deep within yourself to find out what it is you really want out of life.

Having come up with a plan that is not only great in theory but also executable, you hopefully start to think about the most obvious question at the moment: if that is what you want to do with you life, why don't you do it anyway? Why wait until the end of the world to finally speak up or gather the courage to do what you really desire if you can do it while you still have the rest of your life to enjoy it? It's easy to say, you might think now, and I know that perfectly well. I doubt there are many people who would really put their great visions into practise after having this instructive moment, which is kind of sad, actually. That would be a perfect way to gain a life rich in experience if you executed every secret desire and wish without caring about social pressure, embarrasing yourself or fitting into the role you've assimilated.

So my advice for you is to live your life to the fullest, take a chance while you can and not to avoid risks unless they're really dangerous. If I know something for sure, it is that I don't want to sit in a rocking chair at the age of 90 and think back my life only to realise that I should've lived it differently. Maybe this could be the New Year's resolution for all of us. Let's all make the best out of every single day we live!

'Cause after all, girl's just wanna have fun.
