Hello fellow worldchangers!

I want to share with you this article which you can also find in my
blog  http://jefmenguin.wordpress.com

The following is an excerpt from "Living, Loving, and Learning" by Leo
Buscaglia (page 122). It is something Leo found in the Journal of
Humanistic Psychology, and was written by an 85 year old man who
learned he was dying:

"If I had my life to live over again, I'd try to make more mistakes
next time. I wouldn't try to 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 watch more sunsets, I'd go
more places I've never been to. I'd eat more ice cream and fewer
beans. I'd have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones. You
see, I was one of those people who lived prophylactically and sensibly
and sanely hour after hour and day after day. Oh, I've had my moments,
and if I had it to do all over again, I'd have more of those moments.
In fact, I'd try to have nothing but beautiful moments — moment by
moment by moment. I've been one of those people who never went
anywhere without a hot water bottle, a gargle, a raincoat, and 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 and stay that way later in the fall. I'd ride more
merry-go-rounds, I'd watch more sunrises, and I'd play with more
children, if I had my life to live over again. But you see, I don't"

In the blog, I share principles and practices on communication,
leadership, and professional effectiveness . Subscribe for your copy

"From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been 
forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it." 
Matthew 11:12
