People always say that life is fleeting, but every now and then it is important to be reminded of that fact, so you perhaps take it all in just a little more. Every time you get in a car, board a plane, cross the street, or even just wake up in the morning there is a chance that something catastrophic, life changing, or even worse can happen. Make sure to always tell your loved ones how you feel, and do your best not to wait until tomorrow to change the things you want to change about your life. You never know, there might not be a tomorrow to do it.
