Regina Swarn Audio Series Presents - Living Every Day as if it's Your Last

Episode Date: July 21, 2025

Fan MailDeath has a way of reshaping our perspective, but why wait for its shadow to fall before we start living authentically? As we witness devastating floods in Texas, the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, and the unexpected passing of beloved figures like Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the fragility of life becomes painfully apparent. Yet many of us continue spending our precious hours gossiping, holding grudges, and feeding negativity.Have you noticed how people change when given a terminal diagnosis? The transformation is remarkable - priorities shift instantly, petty grievances dissolve, and an urgent desire for peace takes hold. That's the wisdom at the heart of this episode: we shouldn't need a death sentence to embrace what truly matters.I share personal stories about family members carrying grudges to their hospital beds and others who call not out of care but hoping to discover something wrong they can gossip about. These cautionary tales remind us that every interaction is a choice - to build up or tear down, to plant seeds of love or discord. When we depart from negativity and approach each day as potentially our last, we gain freedom from the trivial concerns that often consume us.This isn't about living recklessly or abandoning responsibilities. Rather, it's approaching life with intentional kindness, making peace where possible, and using our limited time to help others instead of hurting them. As one minister wisely advised my sister, "Go and take my love, not my judgment" - because love draws people together while judgment pushes them away.What would change if you knew today was your final day on earth? Would the grudges still matter? Would the gossip seem important? Or would you focus entirely on expressing love and gratitude to those who matter most? Don't wait for tragedy to bring clarity. Start living today as if it were precious - because it is.Join our growing community by sharing this episode, leaving a comment through Buzzsprout's fan mail feature, or reaching out directly at [e-mail].

Hi there, I'm Regina Sworn.

Welcome back to a bonus episode of Regina Sworn Audio Series Presents. Thank you all for those who. Share this podcast who support this podcast monthly, and for those who like and, you know, just participate in my podcast. I really appreciate you very much. I want to get straight to this little message I want to share with you. Just a few words of encouragement. The name of this topic is a little long, but I think you'll get the point as I go along in the podcast. treat every day like is your last but do it with love

I look around me I want to cry right now but I'm going to be as strong as I can as strong as I can it's coming up on my sister Laura's anniversary she's been passed away five years ago July 29th and every year I just get so around overwhelmed with emotions and I just feel so sad and it's unbelievable how I feel, but I can explain it. But my mind goes back to all of the stories that I've heard about, that I've read about, that I've watched online about the floods, the recent floods, and tornadoes and just disasters that's hit our nation, that's hit the world, not just our nation, but the world.

Like the flood in Texas, for instance, what a horrific, horrific flood. Takes my mind back to the Haleen disaster that happened into Carolinas and even came through Georgia, you know, in Florida. And so treat every day as if it was your last, but do it with love. I look around me, and I'm going to tell you something, I look around me, I see people. And I used to be a part of doing these things, but the Lord changed my life back, gave me a renewing of my life back in December of 2024. believe it or not. But I look around, I still see people arguing over minute things, little things, just small things,

holding grudges for years and years and years, talking about people, gossiping. We don't know when our last days are here on this earth. that. We don't know that. Because if you knew that, if you knew that today was your last day, have you ever noticed people that get a sentence of, I'm going to call it a sentence of death, like if you got cancer or if you are sick or if the doctor give you so much longer to live, you notice that people, they start to change, you see a whole difference in them, a total difference in them. total difference they just have a different attitude

a different outlook on life the way they treat people the things that used to matter once don't matter anymore they want to go forth because they want to meet the Lord and peace but what happens when you don't know

because the saying used to be used to go like here today gone to But I say no. I've been said, no, it's not that here today gone tomorrow, here today, gone today. Treat every single day of your life as if it was your last day. And you do that with love. And I know a lot of people say, well, Gina, that is so hard to do.

It's not so hard to do when you are given a death sentence that you got so long to live. you got cancer or you got some disease or something like that. It's not hard to do then. Then you try to get it together. You try to get it in order. We don't know, guys. That's the thing. We don't know our last day on earth.

We don't know that. I don't know that. You don't know that. But I look around me and I still see gossiping. Talking about one another. I still see people holding grudges from years and years. And years and years, people have grudges of misunderstandings. Do you know?

I think I told you the story of the guy who told me that I would figure it out. And this happened a couple years ago. I did not, I promise you, I did not know that guy was speaking about what he was talking about. To this day, that guy still has a grudge against me because of some misunderstanding that I didn't even know. about. Sometimes things happen in our lives. We do things. And if you're busy as I am, guys, I'm really busy. I'm not just talking about I'm busy. I'm really busy in life. I do have a occupation, a job where I work at a medical facility. I also do things on this side. I do my podcast. I do locations. I do a lot of stuff. So I'm really busy. So I can truly state that I am busy.

So sometimes I don't always get in a phone call. I don't know. always get to call people. I don't always get to do the things that I want to do. And so sometimes, yes, I do make mistakes. I am not perfect. I make mistakes. So what that particular guy, a couple years ago, I'm like, I didn't even know what that guy was talking about. I, to this day, I still don't know what he's talking about. And he's, I guess if he's still alive, the guy hold the grudge. He get a grudge in him and he hold it for years and years and years and years not knowing and he's a very sick guy stay in the hospital not knowing when your last day here is going to be

if i should go i want to go in peace if i should go i want to go in peace you live your last day as if on earth as if it was your last day live every day as if it was your last day live every day as if it was you your last. And the very last thing that you want to do is

to walk around here with these grudges in your heart against someone. That person could not even be thinking about you. As I was telling you about the guy, it shocked me that he would even think like that because my mind

was so far away from what he was saying. I still didn't figure it out. I still haven't figured it out. And that's been over two years. years ago. Haven't heard from him. So he's obviously still mad about what, whatever. I don't know. But live your day, every day of your life as if it was your last day on earth. And do it, but do it with love. Bypass all of those gossipers. Bypass people that want to talk about people. Bypass people. If they don't understand you, then you kind of separate yourself. I've had to separate myself from gossip, from the negative,

because I used to be right there in the midst, in the between of all of this stuff. Even if you're there and you're listening to stuff, people gossip and talk about each other, you are obviously just as bad as they are. You don't have to say a word, but if you're right in the midst of it and people are talking about people, if people are in the midst of you talking about people, just get up and walk out. cost you nothing just to get up and just walk out. That's it. And let them continue their conversation, talking about people, and people live their life.

A lot of people live their life on gossip and talking about other people. They live their life doing that. That's how rumors get started, backbiting. Gerd, did you hear, man, did you see that? Ooh, wee. It's so sad Because you don't know When your last day

On earth is And I know some people out there Would say well, oh well But I want to be peaceful I want to live every day Every day as if it was in my last Every single day And I want to be in peace

And I want to do it with love With love With love I want to have that love in my house love in my heart. And guys, I'm walking. So if you hear me walking, it's okay. But I want to have that love in my heart as I live my every day on this earth in peace

every single day. Because you know what? I had to go in another room. My podcast, as you guys all know, is raw and real. So, yeah, I do what I can when I'm doing the mastering and mixing to try to take out all the extra little noises in the background. But live every day on this earth as if it was your life. You know, I just read about Malcolm Jay Warner from the Cosby Show.

So sad to hear that. So sad to hear that. I grew up watching the Cosby Show. And, you know, I loved all of them. Lisa Monet was my favorite, you know. But I love the show. And I, my condolosis, go send my condolosis to his family, friends, fans. That was sad.

It just broke my heart to wake up today and see that story. But live your life as if it was your last. Live your life every day. Do it with love. If you could make someone day by being kind, do that. It costs you nothing to be kind. It causes us nothing to be kind to another person. It causes us nothing to depart ourselves from gossip and talking about other people.

It caused us nothing because we, don't know that today you got breath in your body and you are doing fine everything is great you don't know that this could be your very very last day you don't know that I don't know

that you know a lot of people I gotta say this I want to say something here for a moment and it's kind of personal but I can say it a lot of people family members and people call I have two phones

went for business and I give certain phone numbers out to people who I keep in touch with, you know, I give them the main number, but the other number is still good. But I dropped that phone so many times the other phone. So people have been calling that number, calling it, calling it, and one person, well, two people, not going to say their names. but one of the two people said Gina would be calling you over and over again We thought we didn't know what was wrong

What happened? What's going on? And I'm thinking I know this I know for a fact that people call it to gossip So sometimes people call you to see not necessary how you're doing They're calling to gossip to see how you're not doing Hoping something's wrong Well I told this person I said you were calling a phone that's been broken.

I said, but I've given you this number right here. And I said, this phone number is good. I said, so I don't know why in the world you've been calling that number. But the person has been calling that number, calling that number. And this person is a huge gossiper, family member, huge gossiper. Calling sometimes not so much to see of your well-being, but calling to see if anything is wrong so they can have something to talk about, to gossip about. A lot of times people want to know what's going on so they can gossip and talk.

But I told her, I said, when you've been calling the wrong number, I gave you this number right here. This number I gave to people that are close to me, that I know that I talk to often. So the other number, yeah, you know, for other things, people call that. And it's still a good number, but the phone has fallen so many times. I got to replace the phone, but the number's still good, but I can't take calls on it or receive them. But I immediately tell that person, I say, you know, I know in my heart that you're not calling because you care. You're calling to gossip. And like I say, I was a family member.

I say, you call in the gossip. And I say, and you pick the wrong person. I say because you got this number. You said, oh, well, I do have this number right here, but I just forgot. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. whatever.

I didn't buy that. But then another person, they had the number. But, you know, calling that other number. So, guys, listen. Depart from gossip. Depart from that stuff. Please. Live every single day on this earth.

And I know this is going to go in people's ear and come right out until disaster hit you. I look at this stuff that happened in Texas. this flood and all of these things that happen breaks my heart. Breaks my heart. The stories, you see on my social media on my Facebook page, specifically, I post a lot of those different

stories up from people telling their story of their survivors who've lost their families and friends. And we don't know when the last day of our lives. We don't know that. And I'm not making this podcast to scare anybody up. It's not to scare you. just to make you be aware of how important and how special that life is.

While you've got to use it productively to help someone. Use it productively to tell somebody about the good Lord. Use it productively as one minister shared with my sister to share it with love. Not with the fist and bashing somebody, but do it. with the love to share because you draw more people with love than your bad shame people. And that's what a minister told my sister, I never forget it, he said,

go and take my love. Not my judging you, but go take my love. And I just, I just want to come to you today and with a few words of encouraging, what I encourage you meant, I hope this podcast today encouraged you out there. Whenever I pick up my microphone and my thing to talk like this from the heart, no music in the background, no nothing, just raw and real.

It's from my heart, y'all, from my heart. Live your day, live this day as if it was your last day. What if this was your last day on Earth and you knew it? You knew it to be your last day. what would you do? I know your life would be different. I know you wouldn't be thinking about gossiping. You're talking about this one and that one.

You wouldn't even enter your mind. I've heard people who said that my own sisters, for instance, who had cancer, he passed away, but I've heard them like when they got that diagnosis, you know, they wasn't thinking about all these other things in life. They were no longer, they were thinking about that anymore. Their mind was focused on the above. So use this day going forward. Everybody's not going to listen to this.

Everybody's not going to pay this any attention. But if you hear me right now, if you believe in what I'm saying, if this can resonate with any of you out there, treat every day as if it, It was your last day on earth. Just treat it that way. Treat it that way. Go forth in love.

Go forth in helping someone. If you can't help someone, if you can't do good by someone, if you don't have something good to say about someone, then the least you can do is don't say anything. Don't participate in gossip. because every seed planted will come up again. It may not happen to you today, but there's tomorrow. If there's a tomorrow, there's tomorrow. There's next week, there's another time. So always plant good seeds.

So there's a lot of different things I'm spitting out here today, a lot of gyms I'm giving you today to share with you in this podcast. And sometimes my podcast, I come to you with just a candid conversation like the one today. So live every day like it's your last day on earth, but do it with love. I'm Regina Sworn.
