Too Short

Life is so short.
You only get one go at it.
No do-overs.
No I wish I would have done that differently.
No putting it off.
Stop doing what everyone expects you to do.
Do what you want.
Be happy and make it count.
Stop reading this right now!
Go do something you wouldn’t usually do.
When your time is up, be able to proudly boast,
I lived my life to it’s fullest.
