Hey Fool,
Something I’ve come to realize is we don’t ever own anything. That’s obvious, but we don’t consciously live by this.
See, when we’re racing to and from work, playing politics, fighting about unimportant things we don’t even care about, we’re caught up in it. In these moments we completely forget how short this all is.
I used to wait to have fun. My mentality was that when I win, when I accomplish my goals, then I’ll go all out. The ironic part behind this belief, acting like that almost guarantees never reaching what you set out for.
A stupid phrase I used to hear too often was: How do you want to be remembered? I won’t speak for you, but I don’t give a shit what people think about me now, let alone when I’m gone.
I think a better phrasing would be: WHAT do you want to remember?
When we answer father time, and get that call, and we’re laying their in our final hours, what do you want to look back on?
I don’t want to be one of those people who took it serious. Who didn’t know how to play, let go, have fun, be in the moment, and laugh.
I don’t know if I’ll get everything I set out for. I don’t know what the future has in store. But none of that matters.
Nothing stops you from playing right now.
Nothing stops you from enjoying what you have.
