Life Is Too Short Not To Enjoy
Life is too short not to enjoy
Now I know with what's happening in the world right now that many of us are stressed. Working more, getting less pay, grocery and gas through the roof. Worried about if we are going to get blown to smithereens, it's tough out here. I get it, you have to clean the house, do laundry, make dinners, take care of the kids, and worry about World War 3. It's enough to make you go crazy.
But you also must remember that life is short, sometimes shorter than we even realize. You can be here today, gone tomorrow, just like that. I know that better than anyone as I have lost so many people way too early. This weekend I was at a funeral for a client I used to work for. She was only 10 years older than me when she passed. She was a workaholic, even when they would go to their cabin in the mountains, she would work all the way up and back and even while they were there. Don't get me wrong, I know some people, especially single moms, that have to work a lot. I get it. I was one of them. But I always made time for fun. I would leave dishes in the sink or clothes in the washer if a friend called me to go and meet them or if my girls wanted to do something with me. But to have money, lots of money and still work like that, not enjoying life, I cannot for the life of me get that. All of this shit will still be there long after you're dead, the dishes, the laundry, the dirty house and yes, even the money. But the moments, the memories, these are the things that make life a great one. This is what makes it worth living.
I will never forget watching Oprah and this mother was making sure her daughters' barbies all faced the same direction and everything was totally in order. Oprah asked do you think your kids are going to remember that their barbies all faced the same way? Is that what is important to them? Or that you took that time to be with them, to play with them, to be present. That was my lightbulb moment. I was that mom. But I wanted my girls to remember that when they asked if we could go to the beach or the park or for a walk I said yes and I was present. I wanted to be present in my life and in my girls' lives.
So today my friends remember life is way too short. You can be gone tomorrow and what will you have lived for? A clean house, more money you can't enjoy, straight barbies? Will any of that matter on your death bed? Will you wish for more time to do laundry or another day at work? No, you will ask for more time to live and enjoy your life. So do it now. Get out and live, be present and to hell with the dishes!
We all need to be the change we want to see.
