First, I was dying to finish my high school and start college,
And then I was dying to finish college and start working,
Then I was dying to marry and have children,
And then I was dying for my children
To grow old enough
So I could go back to work.
But then I was dying to retire,
And now I am dying …
And suddenly I realized
I forgot to live.

Please don’t let this happen to you,
Appreciate your current situation
And enjoy each day
… old friend.

To make money we lose our health,
And then to restore our health we lose our money…
We live as if we are never going to die,
And we die as if we never lived…

- Eric Allen Bell
