Read the book.

Take the trip.

Learn something you’re terrible at.

Spend some time alone.

Spend more time with people you love.

Share what you know.

Give while you’re still here to see what your generosity can do.

Pray.

Laugh.

Cook something without worrying about whether it looks like the picture.

And every now and then, do something simply because it makes a good story.

We can become so focused on building a successful life that we forget we’re supposed to actually live it.

One day, the memories may matter more than the things we were rushing to accomplish.

Build a life you won’t have to exaggerate when you look back on it.
