I've seen people who tattoo this on themselves as a symbol of their willingness to take risks. Adopting this as a life philosophy is sometimes used as validation for poor decision making and an excuse for recklessness. In spite of that possibility I want to adopt this motto for my own life. I don't intend for it to be a license to take foolish risks, but instead as motivation to leverage every opportunity:
- Always telling my family that I love them
- Stopping what I'm doing to have conversations with my daughters
- Giving my wife a good night kiss
- Holding my wife's hand whenever I can
- Praying for people in the moment they ask
- Taking risks of generosity with our finances
- Seeing strangers in need and engaging them in that moment
- Seizing a unique opportunity of faith that takes us out of our normal routine
- Investing in a potential leader who might not fit the typical mold
- Breaking out of routines and stretching my thinking
- Establishing new disciplines that help me overcome poor lifelong habits
I don't want to have a ton of regrets at the end of my life, but I want to make sure it's for the right reasons.
