Text this morning from a friend: Remember Buddy, when we look back on life I never want either one of us to say “gosh, I really wish I spent more time at the office”
If that wasn’t a kick in the balls, this mornings walk brought another letter from Seneca:
“make this your business: learn how to feel joy…
We must make it our aim already to have lived long enough. No one deems that he has done so, if he is just on the point of planning his life. You need not think that there are few of this kind; practically everyone is of such a stamp.
Some men, indeed, only begin to live when it is time for them to leave off living.
And if this seems surprising to you, I shall add that which will surprise you still more: Some men have left off living before they have begun.
Farewell”
