I don’t believe in an afterlife. For me , there is only this life and when it’s over—unless there is a massive collective consciousness where it’s possible for me to somehow remain aware as my body turns from matter to energy—there is nothing waiting for me on the other side.

- Bob Marley
If there is no eternal life
, purgatory, heaven or hell waiting for me, then all I have is now. This time. This life. I say (to myself and even out loud, sometimes) that all I can do is live the best life I can and it enjoy it while it’s mine, but anyone can see, I don’t really live that way. It makes me sad and anxious.
This year, I’m going to look for mine on earth. I will live the best life I can. I will enjoy it while it’s mine. I will not waste it being lazy, sad, victimized, cruel, angry or bored. At year’s end
, I will have lost nothing and gained everything. There are so many new beginnings and firsts awaiting me in the year ahead , I don’t want to waste a single minute of it.
