Sounds a little stupid doesn&#8217;t it? Daily we make plans: trips, to do lists, business ideas, catching up with friends, mending relationships with family members, etc with no assurance that they will come to pass. 9\/11 reminds us that our lives can come to an end at any moment. So what are we to do? Should we live aimlessly without goals or aspirations? No. I think this quote tells us to make plans but also live each day to the fullest as if it was our last. We should enjoy all the tresors we were blessed with and avoid procrastinating on things we could do today. The beauty and curse of life, after all, is that we only get to do it ONCE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is my challenge to you:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Stop wasting your time doing meaningless things,<br \/>\n2. Don&#8217;t allow fear to stop you from going after your dreams and<br \/>\n3.
