Earlier this week I received the news that a friend from my
youth had passed away. His passing
was unexpected and shocked those who knew him. On one hand I’ve found it difficult to put into words my
feelings emotions since receiving the news, yet on the other memories of the
fun times have flooded my thoughts with tears and smiles coming at the same
time.
We’ve all heard at least one cliché regarding life and the
need to “live in the moment” or “live like tomorrow will never come”, and yet
we don’t. The reality is we get
one crack at our life so if there’s something you want to do, Do It Now!
OK, some activities may take some planning and saving and in
that case start planning and saving now!
Make what you want to do a priority and if you’re lucky you’ll get to do
it.
Here’s the challenging part… Figuring out what you want to
do.
The only advice I can offer is to go with your gut and then
let your brain figure out how to make it happen.
Erik, you will be missed. R.I.P. my friend.
