Life Is Short It is an ironic and cruel joke that as we figure out who we are, as we find our people, as we become more secure in ourselves and them, we also become closer to death. I am a submissive, and sometimes it feels like time will run out before I know fully what that means. So much of what we are is about hope and drive, even if what we are hoping for and driving toward never happens. The point is the journey, not the destination. So every second is a call to action. To take care of our minds and bodies and hearts so that we can prolong it. To be and do as much as we can in the short time we have. To love fiercely and deeply. To be good to other people and help them along in their journey too. To change the world into a better, kinder, more equitable place. Because regardless of what anyone says or does, this world belongs to all of us… and we belong in it. To learn from our mistakes, and try to cause as little harm to others as possible. To figure out who we are so that we can be them, and to remember that who we are isn’t stagnant, so the change shouldn’t stop until the end. I do not believe in the afterlife, at least not the kind where I continue to be me. So I think we need to make this life matter because it is all we’ve got. To grow and help others grow. That is how I make my life matter. Life is short. Make the most of it. For yourself AND others. ~goodgirlsdoresearch  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this.

This is unbelievably true!!! I wrote a somewhat lengthy comment, but probably posted it in the wrong place. But the main idea was ---- wish I knew in my 20's what I know now!!! Wish I could go back and redo all the decisions I made in my youth... I was too busy trying to please other people --- people who were not really worth pleasing and not pleasing myself.. I never want to hurt or upset anyone --- I just wish I would have understood what would have made me happy instead of worrying about making other people happy. YOU CAN'T MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY UNLESS YOU ARE HAPPY FIRST!!!!!

It is short. And most of us will figure that out when there not much time left.

The length of your life shouldn't be the measure of you. . . Impermanence is the cornerstone of Buddhist teachings and practice. All that exists is impermanent; nothing lasts. Therefore nothing can be grasped or held onto. When we don’t fully appreciate this simple but profound truth, we suffer. The lion's roar is but a speck in time but it's intensity expresses all he has in him . . Be the lion's roar M.

ali This is so beautiful and so true! We must make the most of what time we have! A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw Jenny
