"I only regret, in my chilled age, certain occasions and possibilities I didn't embrace." Henry James

I cannot imagine being there, in that moment, to regret all that I did not do because of judgment or fear or a myriad of other reasons. I hope we embrace all that life has to offer. I hope it is not a whimsical side swept decision when we falter in our experiences. And in all that must be done in day to day life, I would surely hope that we resist the temptation to continually defer what we truly want to be doing.

So book that ticket, paint that painting. Learn to play that instrument. Find that thing that brings you infinite joy in the most trying circumstances. Do what you cannot imagine actually doing just for the sake of trying.
