#YOLO

yes, i just said that annoying abbreviation. 
I will never use it again.
But it's been going about so much, its got me thinking.


YOLO. "You Only Live Once", made famous by Drake, but originally by The Strokes, its blown up as  an excuse, something for people to do things, take risks, and be spontaneous, whether they be stupid, regretful, in-the-moment actions, or as some sort of positive motivation.. if people do do that. We say it all the time. (here are some i found on twitter)


Watching a movie instead of studying for exams. YOLO.
Just texted myself a good morning text. YOLO.
Going to bed at 6am. YOLO.
The list goes on and on, from inappropriate actions to just plain stupid ideas. 


But after thinking about it, I think that parts of this YOLO convention are applicable. You Only Live Once. Its most definitely true, we live once. We have been given this one chance to live, to fulfill and live out our purpose, but instead of YOLOing for things that don't matter, we should YOLO for Christ. Take those risks for him, whether if its standing up for your faith, or taking the high and righteous road. Each day we wake up, blessed enough to have another day to follow and glorify Christ. Use it wisely! You may not get another chance to later. Make it count. 


Did i just ruin YOLO for everyone? Oh well. #YOLO
