“Wake up”

“Wake up! If you knew for certain you had a terminal illness — if you had little time left to live — you would waste precious little of it! Well, I’m telling you…you do have a terminal illness. It’s called birth. You don’t have more than a few years left. No one does. So be happy now, without reason — or you will never be at all.”

—Dan Millman

 So many of us keep postponing happiness until conditions are right. We’ll start living the good life, we tell ourselves, when we’re making the good money, or we’ve lost that fifty extra pounds, or we’ve kissed that dead-end job goodbye. We keep putting off truly living and the happiness it offers until there are precious few days left and then we look back on a life filled with wouldas, shouldas and couldas and wonder what happened. When you stop and think about it, that’s a silly way to live, isn’t it?

May you always be willing to live the good life today.

Love

Bill
