Is Living Everyday Like its Your Last Even Feasible?

I recently wrote a couple posts with regards to living life to the fullest.  Often times we spend our lives coasting, until something catastrophic happens and wakes us up.  Unfortunately, this catastrophic event can often be so grave we do not get a second chance.  I have been blessed that I have faired well so far in my battle with leukemia.  This has given me the time to reflect and wake up.  I realized that before I was got sick I was coasting, and have now begun to make plans to live a better life.

Often we hear live your life to the fullest or "Live everyday like it is your last".  But is this really an achievable goal?  If we were focused on living everyday like it was our last, we would most certainly fail, or become extremely frustrated and quit our crusade.  It just isn't feasible to live like that because we have so many daily demands to attend too. 

I think a more realistic goal is focus more in weekly buckets.  At the end of each week you should be able to look back and be happy with what you have accomplished. 

Of course you should have a list of things you want to accomplish in your life.  This can come in many forms, but the easiest is the Bucket List I wrote about recently. 

If you can look back on each week and be happy with what you have accomplished, you will live a happy life.
