Even the prophet agrees with my new NO REGRETS! attitude. I don't want to even try paraphrasing. This is taken from his talk last week during the Sunday morning session of General Conference:
"This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now...
"Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future..."
And speaking of out Savior, Pres. Monson says, "He taught us how to pray. He taught us how to serve. He taught us how to live. His life is a legacy of love."
I want to be thought of and remembered like that by my children someday.
