Do you wish you could go back into the past and change
things? Living your life with regrets is like having an unsightly mole on your
cheek and doing nothing about it. It’s not that difficult to have removed. But
you don’t do it. You put it off. You
stop looking in the mirror. You are afraid to take chances and so you become
staid and suddenly you are in your sixties and realize that life has passed you
by and that you have not really lived. How many times are you going to miss
good opportunities to be the person you really want to be?
Saying yes to life
This morning I got up late and watched the film ‘The Bucket
List’ with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. I had seen it before years ago
but this time it held more meaning. I was watching two veteran actors; one
known for his flamboyant antics and the other known for ‘Driving Miss Daisy’.
The film for those of you who do not know is about two guys who get diagnosed
with a terminal disease and decide to have a huge romp before they die. Morgan
who is more reserved than the raucous Nicholson decides to jump out of an
airplane with him and they travel around the world doing everything they had
wanted to do before but did not.
