Live Now and Learn Always
Hey, everyone! Yeah, I'm talking to you! Are you ready for the rocking chair test?
"What's that?" you ask. It's a very important test that many of us will take some day. But, sadly, though, for most of us, nobody has really told us about this life-changing moment, or prepared us for it. This just doesn't sound fair, does, it? Give me a chance, and I'll tell you about it.
You ready? Okay. Good. Here it is... When we're ninety-years-old and sitting in our rocking chair on that creaky old porch watching the sunset and taking measure of our lives, most of us are going to have more regrets about the things we didn't do in life, instead of all the stupid things that we did do...
That's the test, the test of how many regrets we will have from not living life to its fullest. This one is important. Let's not fail this one!
Bottom line: We have to stop being afraid. We have to start living our lives now! I mean right now!!! Let's not wait until we're ninety-years-old and full of painful regrets to start living!
Let's look at this another way. What if on the way home tonight another driver crosses over that yellow line? Have we already done all that we needed to do? Did we matter? Do our loved ones know that they are cherished and loved? Have we told them? If not, then what are we waiting for?
So how do we start living right now, well, surprisingly by becoming a life-long learner. Being a life-long learner will keep us young, exciting, and fresh. Every day we should learn something new. We can learn a new language, pick up a hobby, join a new social group, go back to school or even just spend a day with a child and learn to dream again like how we used to when we were younger. Doing these sort of things will help us live a vigorous life, and don't we deserve at least that much out of life?
Now teens and even tweens, go learn, lead, and lay the way to a better world for all of us. Remember to live today as if you were to die tomorrow and learn as if you were to live forever. And once again, thanks in advance for all that you do, and all that you will do...
