Don't Wait Until Tomorrow ...

If you have something you need to tell someone … tell them. You are guaranteed nothing but the moment you are living.

If you work too much … slow down. You only have one life. Spend that lifetime making memories … not money. Money comes and goes. Memories are your greatest legacy. Make them … and cherish the memories you carry within yourself.

If you have children … count your blessings. And let your children know that they count. There is no greater gift that a child can receive … than the praise and love of their parent. Don’t hold back.

If you have regrets … learn from them, fix what you can, mend fences if possible, say “I’m sorry” … and mean it. Look back only to learn, savor a cherished memory and be grateful. Look ahead with the promise to pay those lessons learned forward.

If you have your health … appreciate it. Take care of what is good, maintain what works and repair what can be fixed. Plan to live a long, healthy life and make every endeavor to make that your reality.

Life as we know it can change in a fraction of a second. We can’t live every moment in fear of that possibility … but we can live a life that we can look back on and feel that it was ‘a life well lived’.
