"It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is wasted in heedless luxury and spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death’s final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we knew it was passing. So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it… Life is long if you know how to use it." ~Seneca
Life is too short not to use the good silver and dishes.
Life is too short to not take that walk on the beach.
Life is too short to not tell the people you love them that you love them.
Life is too short not to pick up the phone and call that friend you've been thinking of.
Life is too short to not tell people you appreciate them and all that they do.
Life is too short to not say you're sorry.
Life is too short to be offended when no offense was meant.
Life is too short to not forgive.
Life is too short to stay angry.
Life is too short to waste it by comparing your life to others. Remember always that comparison is the thief of joy.
Life is too short to not believe in yourself.
Life is too short to not say thank you.
Life is too short to regret the past.
Life is too short to worry about things. Let worry take care of itself.
Life is too short to not enjoy the small things.
Life is too short to do the things you don't love doing.
Life is too short to not watch that sunset, or get up to watch the sunrise.

Life is too short to not learn a new skill.
Life is too short to spend on negativity.
Life is too short to blend in.
Life is too short to hold a grudge.
Life is too short to not dance when you feel like it or laugh or cry or sing. Who cares if you are not good at any of it. Just do it.
Life is too short to not enjoy every moment of it.
Life is too short to not eat that cake for breakfast. Eat the cake.
A thought to carry with you . . .

ReplyDeleteThanks so much V! xoxo
DeleteOh, yes, eat the damn cake and wear the damn mask! Life is too short to get upset over perceived wrongs. Your freedom is not being challenged by asking you to wear a mask or stop at a red light. C'mon people! Hugs and love, Elaine
ReplyDeleteI agree Elaine! Just do what we have been asked to do. Its not like we will have to do it permanently! Love and hugs, xoxo
DeleteAnd from this year, it is something we should all abide by.
