Tuesdays With Morrie

Today in one of my classes at school we watched part of the movie "Tuesdays With Morrie". I really loved watching it and it really made think about my life. Its a true story about a man named Morrie who has a terminal illness and throughout the story he gives lessons on death, love, and most importantly.... Living. He talks a lot about living each day to its fullest. We were only able to watch about half of it, but he said a few things that really stuck out to me, and even though they talk about death.... I really think they can be applied to anyones life. He said:

"Dying is one thing to be sad about, Living unhappily is another matter."

It really made me stop and think..... Am I truly living my life to the very fullest? Am I happy with the things I have done and the way I treat others?

Another one I really liked was:

"The fear of aging, is lives that havent found meaning."

Have I found meaning in my life? What kind of person do I want to be?

And the last one that I really liked was:

"When you know how to die, you know how to live."

I want to live each day like its my last one and to never regret who I am or the things I have done. I want to live my life to the very fullest!

I really loved watching "Tuesdays with Morrie" and I Highly recommend it!! :)
