What would you consider the most important day of your life?
Would it be your birthday? Would it be the day you graduated from school? Would it be the day you were married, or the day your children were born? Mark Twain, the writer and humorist said, "The two most important days in our life are the day we are born and the day we figure out why." Why were you born? Do you believe there is a defacto reason you were put on this earth? Viktor Frankl, the Holocaust survivor during World War II said, "One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has a specific vocation in life to carry out, a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment." Frankl's comments make it sound like we have a moral obligation to determine and pursue our life's purpose. Many times, when people recover from a disease or an addiction, they set that day as their "new" birthday since they feel they are starting life over again. Some people believe that today is the most important day in our lives. They believe that because it is the only day that is certain. We can't go back and repeat any previous days, and tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Even a "bad" today can be used to set up a better tomorrow. As a result, we should make the most of every day. Regardless of the type of day you believe is the most important, the greatest meaning of your important day may not just be for you - it may be for someone else you aren't even aware of. Live every day to the fullest. Leave me a comment on what the most important day in your life is or has been.
