The people that like their jobs the most are the ones doing the best work, making the biggest impact, and changing the most.

For a limited time only.

I’m 28 years old.  That means that I’ve already spent at least 1/3 of my life (and that’s only if I have a “natural” death when I’m 75, or so).  I haven’t done squat with my life; at least by my standards I haven’t.  That’s not to say that I haven’t worked hard to get to where I am – because I have.  I just feel I could be doing so much more.

Too many people find themselves at the end of their lives with more regrets, then they do accomplishments. That’s not to say that I won’t have regrets when I find myself slipping away into that dark abyss called “death” – because I will.  I just hope to be happy with what I’ve done with my life.

There’s something I do on a regular basis.  Whenever I’m laying down for a nap, or mindlessly staring at a television screen, I usually find myself thinking, “What the fuck are you doing? Get your ass up and do something worthwhile!“.  I really hate wasting time on things – like naps – that I could otherwise do without.  That’s one reason I don’t don’t play video games very often.  I feel better about my time I spend, when I spend it being productive.

I’m not perfect. I have many, many flaws. Everyone does. That’s why the way I choose to live my life may not apply to you.  You may feel fine with following a more secure path – and there’s nothing wrong with that.  Everyone’s different. I just hope that you feel at ease with the decisions you’ve made in your life when darkness starts to fall over your eyes.

Life’s too short.  It’s for a limited time only.
