Life is short. That’s the saying. Make that extra effort for your loved ones. Reach for that dream job you really want. Explore new places and meet new people and learn new things. As you get older, you rapidly realize that an 85 year average isn’t that long. There’s a balance to being emphatically grateful for the time allowed to us, but also cultivating a sense of urgency around our deepest desires and passions. It can be hard to nurture such perspective every single day. But find a way. Your future-self, on your deathbed, will thank you for it.
