Life is too short. Don’t burn up the years. Working night and day. Yes, we all need to survive. Everyone wants to thrive. Yes, we need to work. Though, working a job or in a place that consumes you. Working for someone who does not care about you. Working like a dog. Everyday of the week. Working so much you lose all your time with no tune for what is truly important. Life is too short.

Family is not family. Without you. When we focus solely on a job. Just to earn a paychech to financially provide for our families. Trying to give them something. We never had. If that job is consuming all your time and energy. Life is too short. Do not miss out on the moments with family. Moments they will remember. Moments you will remember. Teenagers love a brand new car. When it’s all said and done. What they need and remember are the times people were there for them. They remember the books read, the tears wiped away, the burnt breakfast. Magically appearing donuts on Sunday. They cherish the camping trips. The late night sleep over with plenty of popcorn and funny movies. They will remember the value of their own life. It’s nice to give gifts to the family. The gift of time Is priceless. Spending all your time providing material possession for comfort while you are gone. Life is too short. Make memories with your loved ones. Work hard and when the work is done. Forget it. Get yourself home and be with someone who loves you. Who misses you. You can thrive and enjoy life on less money. Yes, I said it. Less money and more time. Life is too short. Wr have only a moment so love must come first.
