This too shall pass

One thing I always seem to forget is that time is a limited and precious thing. It is something to be cherished and taken full advantage of, not wasted. The only certianty in life is that nothing is certian. I don't know when I'm going to die. None of us do. It could be 60 years from now, or it could be tomorrow. We never know how much time we have left, so why let the small stuff become so important?

If I died tomorrow, I would regret not spending more time with friends, not showing my family how much I appreciate them, not going to see my dog when I really wanted to because gas was $3 a gallon, and being too afraid of getting hurt to let my relationship with Kyle be as great as it can be, just to name a few. It might be cliche, but it is true: live every day like it's your last, because you never know which one will truely be the last.

Every moment should be cherished. Taking things for granted could be one of the biggest mistakes people make. We only get one chance at life. There is no rewind, no copy paste, no undo button. This is our one shot to make the most of it.

Sometimes, I spend so much time going every little detail of my life (all of the should haves, could haves, would haves, maybes and mights) that I forget to live. I'm always more than willing to give people advice on how to be happy, but I usually forget it all when it comes time to apply it to my own life. Lately, I've been very frustrated at my failed attempts to help someone very close to me. As it turns out, I think she has helped me more than I have helped her. Actually, now that I think about it, I was probably the one that needed more help in the first place. She has helped me to see that you just have to keep going. Don't waste your time being sad, annoyed, upset, or angry. There is always something to celebrate, to be thankful for. Any opportunity to let someone know how much they mean to you should not be wasted. What's the point if we look back and all we see is regret, fear, sadness, disappointment, and anger?
