Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 's Daily Message Monday September 11, 2006 FIVE YEARS AGO Five years ago, I was up early and in the office reading some letters when the phone rang. It was my brother. " Put on the television right now. You have to see what`s going on. " I ran to the TV, and I was shocked about what I was seeing. I was glued to the TV for days. I kept watching the towers fall down like a deck of cards, and I kept thinking about all the people that were in the towers and in the planes and at the Pentagon. I could hear their cries and screams in my sleep. Well, it has been five years since the terrorists changed America, and I still sit here today thinking about the people that perished. You know, all those people did not know it was their last day on earth. It`s hard to believe it`s been five years that they`ve been gone. Yes, they are gone, but you, my friend, are still here. So let me ask you, what have you done with your life the last five years? Have you taken care of yourself? Have you developed healthy eating and exercise habits the last five years? Have you excelled in your career, and are you making more money than you did five years ago? Did you get a new car or a new condo? Put money in your savings account? Are you thinner than you were five years ago? Do you feel better about your body? Are you more at peace with yourself than you were five years ago? Did you finally make friends with yourself? Are you closer with your family and loved ones than you were five years ago? I guess it all gets down to this. Did you embrace or waste all this time? Look, we don`t know how long we`re going to be here. We don`t know when our last day will come. That`s why you must cherish and make the best of every day you`ve got! Be grateful for your life! Be grateful for all the people in your life that you love and who love you! And each day you are given the gift of life, wake up and immediately think of your goals and dreams! Please find some time today to pray and remember all the families who lost someone in this horrific tragedy. For you Clubhouse members, we will all meet at 5:15 PM PT/8:15 PM ET in the Fitness Chat Room to remember this day and to talk about bravery.
