Life Lesson: Live Each Day Like It Is Your Last
// August 19th, 2009 // Advice, Life
You always know when you’re doing something for the first time, but you rarely know when you’re doing something for the last time. Unless you’re jumping in front of a bus or something. If you look at every decision you make ‘the best decision’ you could have made at the time, then you won’t live in regret. As you grow older, you’ll find the only things you regret are the things you didn’t do. Just take a minute right now and think about your life and what you want to accomplish within the next four years. Now, think about all the activities you want to squeeze in that timespan. The key is to balance your fun and entertainment with work and progress into your career. I have this friend whose parents are almost never around. They work their butts off and almost always skip out of family fun activities. The point is, it is important to balance fun activities with your work life. It gives us the chance to ‘recharge our batteries’ and eliminates stress. It may be difficult, but what I learned is that your work and career life will always be there, but your career-free life will not always be. Enjoy your time with friends and family while you can because you never know what can happen to them. Accidents happen at the most unexpected moments of our lives. Not to mention, you won’t know how much fun it is to spend time with your best friends, until they are gone. Even though your friends are going away to college, the memories will live forever. College is just around the corner and I can already say I miss some of my friends, so my word of advice: spend more time with them! Live each day like its the last! Go nuts, do something you wouldn’t normally do. I once went to wal*greens and bought the hairspray that changes your hair color. Blue (I know you would be wondering.) I had fun, lived life and my friends and I shared unforgettable memories. 
Take another minute right now to think about the last time you talked to your best friend, your cousin, your mom, dad, uncle, aunt, favorite teacher, neighbor. Did you end your time with them on a positive note? Don’t let their last memory of you be a dull, unexciting or sulky one. You don’t realize how much you miss someone until they are gone.Never ever go to bed angry. You would regret it until the day you die if you woke up and the person you yelled at last night, or the person who received that offensive text message did not wake up to live another day. Live life like the glass is not just half full, but completely full.
dan this is brilliant i loved every word of it just awesome
Thanks!!
Im glad you liked it! Spend more time with your sister dude because she will be going away soon!
Screw your other committments like work or cutting the grass, spend time with those who will be leaving soon or those who you love.
Thank you dan really i dont think its hit me just yet that my other half for 18 years of my life is leaving but im def going to be spending as much time as possible with her in these last couple days and everyone else that i've grown close to as of late
Hopefully with todays technology you guys won't ever feel too far apart from each other. Use skype or other video messaging and text each other every day, every hour.
yea facebook is god and skype is def on the list of things to stay in touch i sometimes think and wonder how people kept close before all of this technology was presented to us you know i mean yea they can talk on the phone and send letters but if you think about it we have it set for staying close to friends that go away
There was no staying close thirty years ago. When people said goodbye, they really meant it
Nowadays people say "see ya later!" or "talk to you later" because they know how easy it is for them to do so. Back then, I'm sure that when you said goodbye you truly meant it. Go Technology! I can't believe Facebook is only 4 years young
RIGHT!!! we are truly lucky that our see ya laters and talk to you laters aren't good byes like they use to be
Haha i had to read that 3x to understand it
Glad we are on the same page now.
