| Topic: Do you have a plan? | |

Living in the moment or from paycheck to paycheck like most people do, is normal.
But how long do you have to live? What if someone (your doctor) told you that you had only six month to live? How would you live the next six months? Or what if you just knew for sure when you were going to die? How would you plan your life? We don't really think much about death as we live our lives from day to day. But we all know that we are all going to die, we just don't know when. What if we could know? Or what if we could decide? How long do you want to live and what are your plans for the rest of your life or do you think about it? Do you have a plan? |

Because if I had one...Id be pissed all of the time because someone would screw up my plan... or delay my plan or something along those lines! Life is meant to be lived... if I died tomorrow I can honestly say " damn... I shouldn't have done that but it was fun"!! |

As someone who has died and is under constant threat of dropping dead, my plan is to live each day fully.

Teebee79 and anyone else:
At least if you have a general plan you know where you are going. Plans have to be somewhat flexible. They do get delayed, but you have to keep moving forward even if it is slow. Determination is what is required. Plans can't be "screwed up" by someone else unless you allow someone else to screw them up. Yes, Life is meant to be lived. But what is your plan or purpose? What is your passion? What do you enjoy? How will you enjoy the rest of your life or will you allow other people to determine your life for you? I have found that I am to blame for my plans getting messed up. I am also to blame for drifting and not having a direction or plan. |

I've got less than seven years left by my estimation. I'll do what I always do though. Learn what I can, read more, enjoy a good meal, travel somewhere and see something new, find something which makes me laugh, and hopefully (and this is more of a pipe dream but one never knows) share at least one of these activities with someone I care about.

My plan right now is lay low, stay as far under the Crazy Radar as I can, and MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS I CAN IND INVEST IN THINGS I CAN USE TO SURVIVE WHEN THINGS DO GO TO HELL! When things do go bad I will go Mad Max! But unlike him I would rather drive this around...
And I would add to it. It may not be the fastest thing on the road but with the toys I add to this baby it would be the one thing the Biker Crazies would be terrified of. Especially when I drop a turret on the top of this puppy and a bulldozer blade on the front! |

Seven years is not much time. You better make a bucket list. I am 63 and I have chosen to live for 30 more years. I need to detoxify my body, lose a few pounds, and get in shape for old age. LOL |

Honestly, I wake up with no plans at all! As the day unfolds and ideas come to me that's what Ill be doing!
I have spent an entire day reading books...walking around the park with my chau ( dog) ..or hanging out with old friends laughing about " remember when's" Some days are more stellar than others...but even those days I look back on fondly because I didn't know how I was going to spend it. |

I'd just wing it like I have been.
Maybe more fire though. |

I smell all the roses and relish and savor every moment. I don't waste time losing my cool or anything...well nearly, but I seldom lose it.
I just enjoy whatever I'm doing to the hilt. Gets kinda lonely, but I'll eventually meet a woman who can put up with me and we'll take it from there. It doesn't even have to be new experiences, already done those and been there. I think most of my new experiences will come from traveling elsewhere now. My plan in place is to go back to work, of which I am actively preparing myself for (last year of college). Work = money = travel = spouse (I hope). |

But we all know that we are all going to die, we just don't know when. What if we could know? Or what if we could decide? In one instance, we can both know and decide our death date...The technical term for this is "SUICIDE"... On the other hand, i think that knowing our exact death date would give rise to a tsunami of questions...for example, I would want to know "Which way am i going?".."Do i need to wear fire retardant clothing and take a fire extinguisher with me...or just take along a can of wing oil and some halo cleaner?" |

Or a bullet proof vest. LOL If you knew, for example, that you were going to be eaten by a lion, you might avoid the zoo or African safari's or friends who have pet lions... If you knew you were going to choke on food, you might chew your food a bit more slowly.... If you knew you were going to die of a heart attack, you might start on a mild exercise program and healthier diet. If you knew you would die of a disease caught when you were in the hospital for short stay, you might avoid hospitals. If you knew you were going to be murdered in a robbery on a dark street, you might avoid dark streets or start carrying a gun. So, if you knew.... you could prevent it and extend your life. |

When I get a lottery ticket, I always select the cash option.
I'd never live to collect all those payments. |

I have found that I am to blame for my plans getting messed up. I am also to blame for drifting and not having a direction or plan. So correct about that :) I plan to move to a bigger city, to get better pay, as the wages in THIS town, are becoming so bog-standard, and they will just keep getting worse. This town is just becoming a pit. It won't get better, because my government just simply don't care about anyone's survival needs. I can only get myself out of it, by moving to a bigger city. From what I've seen so far in job vacancies, London pays a pretty good wage. So maybe I'll end up there.  . Can't see why I'd wanna bother continuing living in poverty. It doesn't reep much benefit. It's no good when complain about something, yet not get off their backside and try to really change anything. Be practical. Not lazy. Opportunities won't come to you, if you won't go to them.

To be honest I would just keep doing what Im doing now. I live in the country on a river so fishing, hiking with my dog, bonfires, listening to coast to coast radio show or a ball game on the sat radio.I am feeling the economy like must others and Im concerned. I just want to be happy and enjoy the small things in life.

If I knew I was going to die shortly, the first thing I would do is walk into my boss's office and pee on his desk.

I spent a lot of time as a child in intensive care, almost died many times and learnt to enjoy every moment that I have.
Life is never guaranteed and I never look to far ahead, but I enjoy everyday, I love every person I can and I never leave anyone angry with me on purpose. I tell my family and friends constantly that I love them, walk and play with my children when all I want to do is curl up and rest. So really if I found for sure that my last day was almost here, I would just try and spend a little more time with the few people I love who I dont see everyday. I would write letters for my children to read when they got married, had their first babies, for each birthday and Christmas, just so they would never forget how much I loved them, or feel like I wasnt still with them.

Being an atheist I know this is the only shot I have at life.
I've always tried to have a plan for my life. I've always tried to save for a rainy day. I haven't always been able to do it. I've allowed others to sway me from my plans in the past, but I have no one to blame for it but myself. I have been the cause of all my difficulties. As I begin the last third of my life, I've become tougher. Although, many would call it stubborn. I do have a plan and nothing will get in my way this time. If anyone or anything tries, I'll drop them like a bad habit and never look back. It's a modest plan. Save all the money I can until I can afford to buy a tiny trailer and retire to someplace warm. |
