I've only lived what I believe to be a third of my life but haven't really felt like I've "lived" until the past eight months.
Major life changes really do something to a person and you never know how you'll be until the moment it happens, no matter how much you plan or think you're ready, or not ready. I talk with so many people who speak kindly of their current jobs but only to the extent that it pays them enough to allow them a car, a house, an annual vacation, provisions for their family, but that they are working hard to save up for retirement when as they say "they can finally enjoy life." I met a man today on my first day skiing in Jackson Hole, his name was Barry but he said everyone just called him "Bear". He's retired but drives the shuttle from the ski resort base to the condos where we're staying. Bear is in his upper 70's and said he hasn't stopped moving since the day he was born. He was an engineer, a big game hunting guide and several other things in his time and now this; and he loves every minute of what he does no matter what it is. He said, "You don't have to call it work when you love what you do." Thanks Bear! You had more of an impact on my day and my life than you will ever know. I think you should enjoy life now; in the moment, every moment, all the time. I'm not saying life won't throw you curve balls (trust me, I've had plenty of my own) but why not enjoy every moment as you have the opportunity to do so. And then take that opportunity. And the best part? It's free! And we know much in life is not. http://youtu.be/fLJsdqxnZb0 I've made the choice. You can too.
