Possibly the strongest storm ever to hit land raged over the Philippines yesterday. The devastation caused by typhoon Haiyan is enormous, about a million people had to take shelter and although the number of casualties is still unknown, it is said to go easily in the hundreds. My heart goes out to the people of Philippines, especially to the families in the hit areas.
A destructive event like this reminds me how fragile life is and that we should never take life for granted, it's a reminder to feel blessed for the things we have and to be less focussed on what we don't have. Perhaps the best way to honor the people who's life has ended so suddenly is to turn something negative in something positive by living our lives to the fullest and by having an appreciation for the opportunities presented to us.
So let us do the things we do today with full intent and without holding back, let us not be afraid to take the opportunities in front of us, let us give it all we got, but most of all let us do everything with an attitude of gratitude.
Please keep the victims of typhoon Haiyan in your thoughts and prayers.
