Reform Yourself

Have Fun, Always

When you’re lying on your death bed
In the distant (or not so distant) future,
what questions will you ask?
How you should have spent more time at the office?
How you should have pushed your kids harder in school?
How you wished you had been skinnier?
Finished at the top of your class?
How you should have saved more money?
How you should have fought for something important?
How you should have stood up for what’s right?
How you should have shown compassion for someone in need?
How you wished you had listened to your parents?
How you wished you had stopped to smell the flowers?
To admire the stars? The moon? The smell of your lover’s hair?
How you wished you could go back in time and change this or that?
How you wished you could have seen your favorite band live on stage?
How you wished you could have run a marathon?
Won a contest? Achieved something great?
Always have fun. Because when your life is coming to a close
in the distant (or not so distant) future,
the answers to these questions won’t matter.
Don’t wait until tomorrow.
Start having fun now.
