Yes! Help Me Build This 100 "Life is Too Short..." List
Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 12:49PM
This is a special "work-in-progress" that I want to build with you over time. So, if you want to participate, post your best "Life is to too short..." things (see my examples below) and I'll add yours to the list and identify you as the contributor. Let's begin.
Life is too short...
- to take it so damn seriously
- not to experience the world, learn about different cultures and how other people in other places live differently than you
- to spend time worrying about the future
- not to enjoy the present moment whether you label it as a good or bad experience
- to dwell on past experiences that you can no longer learn from
- not to laugh often
- to hate
- to give up on your dreams regardless of how many times you've gone after them and failed
- not to affect as many other people positively as possible
- not to make your absolute highest contribution to your life and to the lives of others
- not to realize your full potential as a human being
- to hold a grudge
- not to realize that right now you have everything you need to be happy, content, and completely fulfilled...everything else you achieve and accumulate is just icing on the cake
- to worry about material "stuff"...you can't take it with you into the afterlife, or, am I missing something?
- to try to achieve something great alone, without a mentor or a coach to guide you (Would you take a safari through a South American rainforest full of danger without a damn guide? Of course you wouldn't, so why the hell would you try to achieve anything without a mentor or a coach?)
- not to live each and every day to the fullest ~ Jason
- not to attend a major sporting event in person (ie: Kentucky Derby, Daytona 500, Superbowl, etc.) at least once. Once you do, it won't be your last :) ~ Adam Plitt
- not to spend time with family and friends, celebrating each day, and toasting with champagne! ~ Denise Dudley
- to sleepwalk through life, dreaming, but never quite waking up. ~ Joshua Miller
- not to smile at everyone you meet and mentally sing while you work. ~ Carolyn
These should get you started.
Again, if you want to play, post your thing(s) below using the 'post a comment' link.
