This week, I want to talk to you about how we should always make the most of life, because we never know how long we have. Life is an exquisite gift. This is why we must always appreciate the small joys around us and seize every opportunity that we can.

Life is so fleeting, isn’t it? Each moment is a precious gem, never to be replicated. We must remember to make the most of every moment. This inherent uncertainty is precisely why we must seize every opportunity. This also means appreciating relationships that hold special significance to us.

We should be acutely aware that our time on earth is not endless, but we rarely acknowledge its brevity. We should cherish all the relationships that are key to us. For example, even having a heartfelt conversation with a loved one whilst doing something ordinary deepens bonds and enriches life.

Also, we should try to find joy in daily routines. Doing things like this can transform monotonous moments into special ones. It’s not just about big adventures; even small things we do can create memories in our lives, or can elevate a mundane routine into a cherished ritual.

Here are some other examples:

- You arrange to call a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while and then have a deep and meaningful conversation with them;

- You purposely make the time to take a walk in the park during your lunch hour and then really appreciate and enjoy the nature you see around you that you may not have noticed before;

- You try a new hobby, such as learning a new language or playing a musical instrument, that has been something you’ve been curious about for a while, but have never found the time to pursue.

But some people can feel a bit overwhelmed by things, so making the most of life like this can seem daunting. Recognise that sometimes just being present and at peace can be enough, because life isn't always meant to be a relentless rush to maximise every second you have.

So, this week, please remember to focus on the things in your life, stay open to new experiences and nurture your relationships wherever you can. Life is so precious, so you should always make the most of life whenever possible!
