augustlan's avatar

Life is too short to spend even one day being unnecessarily unhappy. Seriously folks, if you’re depressed, don’t waste time. Get thee to a doctor and get well. Life is so much better on the other side.

Earthgirl's avatar

Mr Shiny Shoes Life is too short to fight and bicker about petty things with the ones you love anyone, lol

Life is too short to waste time bemoaning what’s wrong, instead of appreciating what’s right. If it’s wrong or bad, try to change it but don’t let it get in the way of finding your joy.

CaptainHarley's avatar

Life is too short to eat bad food! Heh!

Mariah's avatar

Life is too short to withhold kind thoughts.

I used to be embarrassed to tell people how I feel about them, even if the sentiment was very positive and I knew that the people would very much appreciate hearing what I had to say. I had a near death experience when I was 17 and realized that it would be horrible if I had died and those things had gone unsaid. I then wrote notes to several of my friends and acquaintances telling them exactly how wonderful I thought they were. Now, whenever I feel shy, I remind myself that life is too short to withhold kind thoughts.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@Earthgirl But especially the ones you love, because they are the ones who matter most. ;)

tlm's avatar

to bother doing anything that does not help you progress on your goal in life.

Mariah's avatar

@tlm You think? My goal is to be a robotics engineer but my life would be a lot less meaningful if I didn’t make art, too.

woodcutter's avatar

@Mariah Right, sometimes doing things for the enjoyment of it means more than the “big” things or at least try to balance the two somewhat.

Be sad. You’re a long time dead, so smile while you can!
