One thing that I often hear older people say about life is that they didn’t realize how short it is.
When you start out it looks like you have forever, and when you start getting into it, you realize it’s not that long at all.
So it’s really all about what we do in that short time. Some people do a lot and leave an impact on the world and may even gain a lot of money. Some don’t do anything, and the start and ending of their lives don’t look too different.
I think how satisfied we are with life being short is related to how much we do while here. So do as much as you can. Accomplish those goals, follow through on those ideas, do everything that you want, and maybe even do them with a sense of urgency, since we don’t have too long to be here.
