The life lesson that I think nearly everyone can benefit from learning and that I try to remind myself of regularly is that we each only get one life. This is not a dress rehearsal. We can create do-overs in some senses (if you are both still alive, it’s never too late to apologize), but the river of time flows ever onward. There is a balance between sufficiently planning for tomorrow and remembering that tomorrow is not guaranteed. Celebrate that you woke up today by doing something for the you you are today, but also do something for future you to appreciate.
