Carpe diem

Lesson of the day: Life is too short to waste doing things you don’t enjoy. Not a novel concept, apparently, but today two people in two separate instances told me things that brought it to the front of my mind. One said he retired early and now accepts some part-time work - and how that's reduced his stress - and one said he turned down lucrative alternative careers in order to pursue his passions. And someone at work is retiring so that she can paint. So, the lesson of the day: Life is too short to waste doing things you don’t enjoy. Question is: Do we learn? Will I?
