fearfully intrepid

do you ever think that everything you're chasing in life might just be a faint facsimile of fulfillment?

what is it that, when youre lying on your death bed, makes you think, "yeah, that was awesome" or, "man, i wish i had done more"?

socrates said the unexamined life is not worth living, but i would contest that it is equally important that we examine how we examine our lives.

recently, ive been asking myself, what exactly am i trying to accomplish with my life? i think im asking this question out of fear, out of fear that when i look back at everything ive done, ill have a deep-seeded regret that ive wasted all my time chasing an empty promise rather then spending it on the things that matter.

ive arrived at the conclusion that life isnt about anything you do, ie the awards, fame, fortune etc, but how you do it. its about giving everything, leaving nothing, enjoying all that God's created and genuinely loving and showing God's love to everyone around you.

or something like that.
