Life is too short to...

In My Humble Opinion
1

…watch sitcoms

…deny yourself of food/drink you love

…care about Michael Jackson’s problems

…not take the time to tell your loved ones you care

…spend your days in the mall

…miss an opportunity to make a new friend.

3

…read threads such as this…DAMNIT

4

…not ride your motorcycle
…to worry about the weather
…miss a sunrise

…not watch sitcoms

11

worry about the things over which we have precious little or no control.

get lost in the minutae (Edward Minieka was the first I ever heard say this)

give 100% to your job

sweat the details and miss the big picture

get to the end of your life and say “God, I wish I hadn’t spent so much time at the office!”

waste time trying to change other people

become a truly great Fanatasy Football player.

12

miss an opportunity to tell someone how I feel

13

…period

“Life is too short to period” Yeah, that was clever.

…hoard duct tape, plastic, toilet paper, etc, etc.

… fail to give your children all the attention you can
… fail to give your lover all the attention you can
… forget to say “I love you” to the people who should know
… take the little things for granted
… spend time worrying about your job
… spend time worrying about money
… spend time worrying about just about everything
… not enjoy music and art
… not read a little
… not take some risks
… not try new things when you can
… defer your dreams
… be afraid to sing
… feel too awkward to dance
… not blow bubbles on a sunny afternoon
… roll in the green grass with a happy dog
… run into the warm ocean with your clothes on
… not sit back and enjoy the sun on your face every now and then
… be rigidly governed by arcane rules
… not express yourself because you’re afraid of someone else’s opinions
… sit and stew and fret over things that may be coming that you can’t stop anyway
