Live Like There Is No Heaven

I recently heard this catchy little phrase and was interested in the concept. For anyone waiting to get their great final reward by going to heaven I am sure they are in for a real shock. Living consciously every day seems to me the best way to receive your reward. So many people hold back their ability to receive great joy by taking the opportunity to live every day as if it were your last.

I have known many people who are told by doctors that they have so long to live. With this knowledge they begin to live every day like it was their last and grasp time like valuable seconds to use each one to the fullest. In doing so they fill their lives doing what is really important to them.

We often squander our precious time with toxic behaviour and negative thoughts. How sad to realize too late that you missed the opportunity to make that call, missed a family celebration or just didn't bother to make the effort to make a difference. I always think that we rarely miss a funeral but put off making a visit to someone that is in need of your company or help.

What if there is no heaven? What for arguments sake would make a difference if we like all of nature had a time on this earth to do as we should and reap our rewards from our noble efforts.I feel that the world would probably be a better and more civil culture if we daily loved and lived life as if there was no heaven.
