Dress rehearsals

Parke!  Life is not a dress rehearsal.  Make sure you live it now and live it well.

A great reminder from my lovely and inspiring wife.  Here is one from Steve Jobs:

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”  And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something…almost everything-all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure-these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.  Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose

-Steve Jobs
