"You only live once!" If this is our reality no matter whom we are or what we do, why then do people rarely use this understanding to often do little more than justify poor behavior or certain risks that logic cannot support. “Why not, you only live once” becomes the battle cry of those who over eat, drink, shop and indulge in life’s guilty pleasures. As though somehow living on the edge will provide satisfaction at the end. Instead the end is a life full of random experiences with no cohesiveness to connect the moments gone by. And for most the result is a life gone by without ever creating the type of progress or accomplishment which delivers lasting satisfaction or hope. For some reason people are unmotivated or simply unwilling to use this same philosophy for embracing actions that promote their own well-being. Knowing what to do is not the problem. Doing it is. It is personal sabotage nothing less that keeps us from what we know to be the right thing. Remember This: Your Purpose and Your "Better Self" need the other to thrive and survive.
