It’s later than you think

You work and work for years and years, you’re always on the go
You never take a minute off, too busy makin’ dough
Someday you say, you’ll have your fun, when you’re a millionaire
Imagine all the fun you’ll have in your old rockin’ chair

Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you’re still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as a wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think

– Guy Lombardo, Enjoy Yourself, It’s Later Than You Think

I loved this poem because it serves as reminder  that:

  • Life is too short to put off your dreams for later.
  • Never take the time you have for granted.
  • Making the most of time means spending it in making memories as much as in making money (that can help you make memories).
  • Never postpone when you really want to speak to your friends and loved ones. We all exist in limited time capsule.
  • Take time off regularly to recharge, reflect and make sense of it all.
  • It is never too late to start something new. 
  • There is no bigger waste than spending time on things that don’t matter (gossip, small talk, unproductive activities etc).
