Don’t Miss Out On Life

August 14, 2008 |

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present. ~ Babatunde Olatunji ~ [Source]

You are out for dinner with your friends and they have ordered the usual, set meals and a drink. Except, one of them decided to skip to the dessert and that’s it. The rest of you are flabbergasted but leave it alone and carried on with the topics on hand.

Have become so depressed at work that you are missing out on life? Start taking control before you miss spending time with your 2 years old daughter and her growing up years. You don’t want to stop working one day and realised that the Barbie doll you bought is no longer her favourite toy and she is now 17 and doesn’t listen to anything you say.

How much risk are you willing to take before you decide that bungee jumping is just the thing to get your adrenaline going and kick start your life? Childhood dreams to be fulfilled? Take Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture as a lesson. Embedded video. To view, click here.

He passed away on 28 Jul 2008 by living life to the fullest and determined not to miss out any thing in his young children’s lives.

What have you missed out on life and how did you feel about it?
