As I was strolling through downtown today, I saw an old lady in a wheelchair. She had a hard time moving around and doing everyday chores despite the help of the wheelchair. I couldn't help but wonder if we're all going to be in a similar state at some point in our lives. If that's true, what can we do to make the most of what we have going for us today? As a very wise man once said to me, "live your life, pursue your dreams, and have no regrets."
Seeing the old lady truly inspired me to want to live a better life, to be healthier, and to be happier. So, when I grow old and frail, I'll honestly be able to say to myself that I didn't cheat myself out of living a full life. I took risks, I enjoyed the ride, I did my very best and I have no regrets. Between the stress of everyday lives (and all the things that come along with them) it's easy for us to lose sight of the big picture and to forget that happiness is a journey and not a destination. So let's pursue our goals, enjoy life, and not transform the gift of life into a nightmare full of regrets and guilt. As one of my clients once said...when he will dies he wants to have "No regrets" written on his grave stone .
