What would you do if you had 24hours to live

This is the type of question that does not commonly come to mind because who wants to die? If I am asked, I may even say I want to live forever, but that would become a curse instead of a blessing because I would have to see everyone that I love grow old and die, thereby leaving me behind.

The thoughts of leaving this world so soon can be devastating and confusing as to what to do next. There is so much to explore and so much of life to live in the short space of time left. There are so many meals I haven't explored, so many friends I would love to get back to, and so many people I may need to let know how much I love them.

I would start by using the first few hours to: Connect with my Family, hugging them and letting them know how much I love them. My siblings and I don't always talk so much, and we have not always shared a lot about our lives with each other. I would use the opportunity to take the moment to let them know I love them and tell them to take care of themselves and my parents.

If this were to ever happen, I know how much my mother would be weeping knowing that her baby only has 24 hours left to live. She would most likely be praying to God to perform a miracle while weeping deeply that her baby would be gone soon. I would try to console my mom and tell her I would always be alive in her heart and that I was only paying a visit to our Father in heaven, The one who created us all and has genuine love for us.

I would let my mother know that I love her so much, and she would be forever in my heart, even in death.

I know that if I died in the next 24 hours, my Hive account would be left idle, with no one having access to it. I would request a powerdown be initiated on my account, 5000 Hive be given to Hive Naija community with the request it is to be powered up, while 5000 Hive would be given to my family and another 6000 Hive be powered up in the Newbies Initiative account and then make a request to @nkemakonam89 to please help take the role of managing the account and fulfilling the vision and goal of the initiative; then send her all the keys for the account.

This leaves about 2500 Hive left in my account. I would request 1000 Hive be given to @creativepearl, my girlfriend, as she is free to do with it whatever she feels like.

One of my goals and reasons for pursuing wealth is to have an impact on future generations. Given the fact that I may not be able to live to fulfil this dream, I can only do what I have to do. I would then make a request that the remaining 1500 Hive be converted into cash and donated to charity. This way, I would know that I had contributed to people's lives before I died.

Then I would make sure to call my friends, starting with my circle: The Growth Catalysts. Let them know a catalyst would soon lose his acidity and would no longer be in their midst. I would let them know I love them all and wish the best for them.

Then I would call my old friends and friends at church. I would make sure I call my peeps too, @josediccus, @k-banti, @ksam and my twin brother @olujay, let them know what's up and tell them I love them and I wish them well.

Then I would want to spend some time with Pearl, go out to eat, play arcade games and video games together, and enjoy the time as if there was no tomorrow left because actually there isn't.

Before the last hour, I would want to spend it in the church to thank God for the day he had granted and his grace throughout my life. Then ask God if it is not too late; he should forgive all the sins I may have committed, knowingly or unknowingly, as I would love to spend the afterlife with him.

Then, I would ask for praise songs to be played while I danced to them and worship songs to be played while I sang to them on my knees, then lie down to rest before leaving this world.

This is exactly what I would do if I only had 24 hours to live.
