Imagine this following piece was written by an 85 year old man who learned that he is dying.

" If i had my life to live over again, I'd try to make more mistakes next time. I wouldn't be so perfect. I would relax more. I'd limber up. I'd be sillier than I've been on this trip. In fact, I know very few things that I would take so seriously. I'd be crazier. I'd be less hygienic.

" I'd take more chances, I'd take more trips, I'd climb more mountains, I'd swim more rivers, I'd go more places I've ever been to, I'd eat more ice cream & fewer beans.

" I'd have more actual troubles & fewer imaginary ones!"

" You see, I was one of those people who lived prophylactically & sensibly & sanely hour after hour & day after day. Oh, I've had my moments, & if I had it to do over again, I'd have more of those moments - moment by moment by moment."

" I've been one of those people who never went anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, a raincoat & a parachute. If I had it to do all over again, I'd travel lighter next time."

" If I had it to do all over again, I'd start barefoot earlier in the spring & stay way later in the fall. I'd rude more merry-go-rounds, I'd watch more sunrises, & I'd play with more children, if I had my life to live over again."

" But you see, I don't."

Isn't this a beautiful reminder? We only have so long on this planet. Let's make the most of it. The old man realised that , in order o be happier, in order to get more out of life, he didn't have to go & change the world. The world is already beautiful. He had to change himself.

The world is not " perfect"/ The degree of our happiness is the distance between the way things are & the way they " ought" to be. If we cease to demand that things be perfect, the business of being happy becomes easier. We then choose to have preferences for the way things might be, & decide that if out preferences are not met, we will be happy anyway.

As the Indian Guru once told a pupil who was in desperate search of contentment, " I will give you the secret. if you want to be happy, BE HAPPY! "

:D
