Life changing decisions.

I read a book once about interviews with people on their deathbed. They were asked what they wish they would have done differently. 99% said the same things - I wish I'd have spent less time at work; i wish I'd spent more time with my family; I wish I had seen more of the world; I wish I'd have taken more chances instead of playing it safe.

My belief is most people are dead by the time they're 30. They just don't stop breathing for another 40 years.

Too many people get locked into the cycle of pay the mortgage in a job we don't like, pay for a family holiday every year. Mow the lawn and wash the car every Sunday morning. Before you know it your life's over.

Choose life. Choose listening to music or doing something you enjoy instead of the mind numbing tedium of television. Choose trusting your gut instinct instead of playing safe all the time. Choose refusing to do a job that sucks the fucking life out of you "because it pays the mortgage". Follow your dreams. We're only here once

Is this SC?
 
Some years ago I read about some Canadian woman who had reached her 100th birthday. When asked what she thought was the reason for her longevity she replied that she thought it was probably her decision not to get on the Titanic in 1912. Now that's a life changer.
 
Go for it, I am in my 73 been told this morning I have maybe 3 years left, ( got MDS ), so enjoy yourself whilst you can.

Keep smiling. Keen on. You often hear about people beating the odds.

Certainly not dead by 30. I'm 37 and looking to get a first novel published this year.
