I have been getting near daily reminders that life is short. Everyone's time is so limited and we have no realistic hope of knowing when it will be our turn. So the question is how do we manage our short time?
Do we fight to experience? Do we create our own "bucket list"* now? Do we savor every moment? Take our time, let life happen?
Do we force our lives or mold them?
Here's what I haven't figured out. Everyday I consider the people I value and treasure their existence. I accept experiences, but in most cases, I don't force them to happen to me. I make mental lists and follow them out. Through all that though, am I doing the right thing for myself? Should I make a
life list? I have a smaller one in my head, but if I write it out will it encourage me or will I be pushing my own little zen-balance out of whack?
