It's true, we all get caught up in everyday routines and live only for a far-away "target" instead of enjoying the moment. Rich, what you say is so true man. Getting out of your comfort boundaries is really the only way to make them bigger and wider - i begin to realize that even more every day. thumbs up!! markus Hey

Was it really all that long ago? Remember when you got your first bike when you were about 5 years old? Were these events all that long ago? The transition from young to middle aged to old is hard to notice, because you are yourself, 24/7. There's no hitting a fast forward or pause button, and seeing what you're going to do in a couple of years when you have the money to do this, that, or whatever. The memories you have and the fun times you had are a result of taking action, in... that... moment! I like this blog David, its quite philosophical in a way. Although I'm very sad Bernie Mac died. Regardless of wether or not you believe in reincarnation or any other sort of thing, your own life is your own, do nothing with it, or do everything with it. Do you remember your 21st birthday?

It was in a small school, so his death really took everyone by surprise. He was 31, physically fit and very active...his family also had a history of heart problems. I remember that he challenged us and demanded that we did our best and came into the class with such a passion, I imagine similarly to how Bernie Mac was. One time he brought into class an old World War II helmet, put machine gun fire onto the computer speakers and acted as though he were in the trenches. I can remember it so clearly. The point being, we don't know how much time we have left on this earth, so we had better make the most of it. So, I echo David's sentiments: what are you waiting for?

Great post. I actually did meet Bernie a few times and will be posting something a little later involving him but in a different fashion. Sadly, few people get this. Great post.

David,

It does a great job of showing (in a really FUNNY movie :) ) how much less “life” you live when you conduct your life from a place of fear, instead of living life to the fullest every day.

Yeah, always waiting leads to always waiting. I saw Defending Your Life twice when it came out, but I need to rent it again. Great stuff, David. Yeah, always waiting leads to always waiting.
