Life is too short to cry, whine or whimper ...

Life is too short, work as if it was your first day; forgive as soon as possible; love without boundaries, laugh without control and never stop smiling

... do not know who crafted this but it is very apt and captures the essence of how one can improve one's self across all facets of one's life.

It would be bliss if only I could follow all of it most of the time if not all of the time.

The first part is a given, 2nd part is easy - am a workaholic, 3rd part takes a little work, 4th part is easy, the 5th part is something I need to keep reminding myself to do, and similarly for the last part ... other than that it is as close to bliss as one can get despite life's trials and tribulations.
