Thanks Laurie. My wife and I sacrificed a lot to take care of our aging parents. They have now passed and we are grateful for every day spent with them. More importantly we set an example for our 5 kids.
That is so beautiful to hear and well said. I’m glad that you were able to make the most of your time with them. Our kids will learn from the example we set ourselves ❤️ thanks for sharing!
Taking care of your parents is a blessing and shows amazing character. I'm sorry that they passed but knowing you did everything for them is everything! Blessings to you!
You certainly can't tell what happens next. My healthy friend who went out for a walk, got ran over by a bicycle on a walking path, and hit her head, had to get head surgery, and has been in the ER for 2 months now, just transferred to another place. She was young and healthy. This was such a shock to me.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. It’s a sobering reminder of how unpredictable life can be and how important it is to cherish every moment. I hope your friend recovers soon and finds the strength to heal. Thank you for sharing this story; it’s a powerful reminder to appreciate the time we have and the people we care about.
I am 64, retired a year ago. My motto is to be a better person, be the improved version of myself ie keep learning and improving. Learning and building my belief in God has been most fulfilling in understanding meaning, purpose, and Love. Yes, life is short but we must cherish each day with our loved ones. Faith, Hope and Love. The greatest is Love. Love freely and generously.
It's wonderful to see how you're embracing personal growth and deepening your faith in retirement. Focusing on love and gratitude, especially with loved ones, is such a beautiful way to live. Thank you for sharing your wisdom 🌱
My dad, the rock in our family and pillar for the community passed in 2021 at the height of Covid. Our family has not been the same since. I have 5 other siblings. We have all lost something, the closeness that we once had. We are all in our 40s now and this video helped with something I have been thinking about for a while. That is to live life with purpose. Thank you.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Losing someone who meant so much to your family and community must be incredibly hard. It’s understandable that things have felt different since then. I’m glad the video resonated with you and helped spark thoughts about living with purpose. It’s a powerful way to honor your dad's memory and maybe even help bring some of that closeness back with your siblings. Thank you for sharing this-wishing you strength and peace as you navigate this journey.
"What I value most in life is health and freedom". I couldn't agree more. My mom passed on May 2nd. She was 96. I have maybe 20 more winters. I am more aware of this now than ever before.
My condolences and thank you for sharing your story. That time we had with our loved ones we will never regret. Here is to living with intention and making the most of the time left.
I am suddenly 76 it seems! unbelievable & somewhat strange. I don’t feel different than when I was 35 inside!! I often was startled when I happened to look at a store window or mirror in shops the reflection of an old face staring back at me! I’d studied the shape & wrinkles of my face in amusement. The current me that I have so much compassion for but not accustomed to look at just yet. I smiled at her in the looking glass and she smiled back at me as to say, “Hello, here we are, different but one of the same on this same journey of life!” ❤❤❤
Laurie, I greatly appreciate this reminder. Sometimes we get so busy pursuing the things of this world and forget relationships especially post covid pandemic. May God help us.
Laurie I’ve been watching your video and you are changing my life. I’ve constructed a plant by 40th next year I would have at least 4 streams of income. Facing my fears and putting myself out there. Please keep uploading and thank you for all your work.🌼✨✨💛💛
What I want to prioritise is my health, meaningful relationships, peace of mind and freedom. Appreciate your very well crafted video and very well presented too! Tqvm.
I know that life is short even though I am 20. It will fly jusr as blink have an eye. So, what really matters is just living, not making others upset, smiling, seeing small details that always stays there, drinking a cup of coffee without a phone... Small moments, small things.. They are not small.
Thank you for this video. Recently I've made the decision to uproot myself and move back to my home country to be close to my family. It's a big decision for me, and a stressful one, as there are many factors to consider. This video made me realise that it's the right thing to do and that I should persevere with my plan, no matter how anxious it makes me feel. I really appreciate your wise words 🙏
Thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like a significant and courageous decision to move back to your home country. I'm glad the video resonated with you. Being close to loved ones is so important and given our international based family and friends in the modern world, it can be difficult. You are so brave to make the decision and wishing you all the best in the time ahead!
I think as you age you think of life more in this way… but honestly if it’s what makes you live and not waste time then I see it as a good thing. I eat with family multiple times a week- just so we can have time together.. not just at holidays. Great video! I still drop everything for my daughter and she’s older. No regrets!
Meals times with family is so precious and I love that you prioritise this with them. Thanks for sharing your story. Kids really have a wonderful way of making you slow down and be present with them don’t they? ❤️
Thank you for these inspiring truthful words 🙏🏻 I feel blessed and grateful everyday for life alone, just being alive and healthy with my family.and have inner peace. There’s always something to be thankful for 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 So grateful that Universe crossed my path to your video. 💜💜💜
At 70 I don’t worry what others think or what they do/have. Walk and swim everyday, have a cup of coffee!! Need to catch and watch some of your other vids.
Thank you! This is what needs to be taught in our school systems. As well as other life tools. The younger people learn and practice this the better their life will be.
Wow, this Video is really good. Life is so busy sometimes , that we forget the bigger picture. Thank you for reminding me, that my time should be more precious spent
Thank you! I'm glad the video resonated with you. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, but taking a step back to focus on what truly matters can make a big difference. 🙌 Glad you enjoyed watching it
Thank you for this video. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what life is all about and whether I’m on the right path and this was such a good reminder to pay more attention to my loved ones ❤
I'm glad the video resonated with you. It's so important to reflect on life and make time for our loved ones. Wishing you the best as you figure things out! ❤️
Our three kids plus spouses and grandkids have gotten together every two years to meet somewhere in the western part of the U.S. for some days all together. It has been invaluable to all of us. My husband and I gave up our house and most possessions to live in the garage apt behind his mother over six years ago. She is now 95. I’m sure she wouldn’t still be able to be in her home without us but the sacrifice has been a blessing to us also.
V well done in 10 mins. Your insights is a wake-up call or reminder for us all. Not only health, freedom, relationships, living w intention in present moment, but living w gratitude is also key. Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad the video resonated with you. Living with intention and gratitude can make a big difference. It's great to hear that these insights were helpful. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 😊
That's so wonderful and I'm sure you will create a lot of impact in your local community through volunteering. ❤️ All the best and would love to hear how you get on!
Pretty true. The risk of, for example emigrating, is that you start with no relationships. Be old and experience a tragedy at that point, which isolated you from society, and you may never make a single new relationship for the last half of you life. Not complaining, just sharing some insight I gained first hand.
Cool, thank you ma'am Laurie. It's actually shorter than we think, coz' around 30 to 50 one becomes weaker (even if one get to be 120 years old, the 70 years coz' one is weaker and slower and one can't go to some place and events with young people, it as if one was just waiting for death for 70 or 90 years if one doesn't go spiritual) some things you won't be able to do physically or can't be ay certain places and events around people who're way younger but things & people won't fulfill, one has to go spiritual- only by doing the goodworks that Jesus truly wants (preferably via the wisdom of the Catholic Church) is the only way to a truly fulfilling life aka a living a truly full life. God bless.
Good video. I’ll be 46 next month and I get some ageism on occasion because, I haven’t done much career and relationship wise. Definitely, don’t have the money I want. I sometimes compare myself to society’s standards when I know that comparison is the thief of joy. So, my plan is to really get after it in the next few years and have all those areas much better by the time I’m 50. Then, just keep building and building those areas moving forward.
It's great to hear that you're focusing on your goals and not letting ageism or comparisons hold you back. I believe that everyone’s journey is unique, and it's never too late to make positive changes. Your determination to improve your career, relationships, and financial situation is inspiring. Keep building and moving forward, one step at a time. You've got this! 🙌
Qh Wow! Qh Wow! Qh Wow! Qh Wow! Qh Wow! This is soooo true! And just when and what i needed to hear tonight. Thank you. This is brilliant! Pay attention people. For old people like myself, this essentially is the meaning of life; Family, Love and the sincere appreciation of both. Thanks Laurie. Hugs from the west coast of Canada!
Thank you for being you and I love how I found this community of people like you who are passionate about redefining success, and how to make the most of this incredible life we have. 🙌❤️
It seems you refer to life as only having one!? Live your life and be relentless. Excellent word. I would add: intention, attention, persistent, and consistent. I recognize intention as a goal or journey, apply attention to your goal, and if important enough, be persistent and consistent until whatever end is realized of your goal. Your life is valuable; in every way you have mentioned, but after you pass on, your physical reality may be over, but your spiritual reality is still relative, and that reality includes family in your last life. Enjoy your life as your have so aptly stated, but spirit never ends, you never end. Your heartfelt message spoke to me, and I wanted to validate you, and speak my mind in response.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your additions of intention, attention, persistence, and consistency are great reminders of how to approach our goals and make the most of our time here.
@@lauriexwang my response to your informative and personal understanding comes from me being a metaphysician for many years. We are androgynous beings, male and female. Our intention - attention comes from our male space, and persistent - consistent comes from our female space. This balance, and this balance is important, of male /female creates our life and decisions. Spirit is changing on the planet, and your messages are a contributing factor. I wanted to acknowledge your effort. I have subscribed. Robert
Hi Laurie, Amazing video.Really life is short.sometimes we feel drained inconsciously in the adversity. This IS why we need nice people like you to remind us to focus on what matters in life. I like too much your positivity and your passion to be the best version of yourself. New subscriber and a big fan from this moment. l am glad to find your Channel.❤❤❤
I'm really glad the video resonated with you. Life can indeed be challenging, but focusing on what truly matters makes a big difference. Your support and positivity mean a lot to me. Welcome to the community-I'm excited to have you here! ❤️
Life passes by no matter how much you live in the now. I learnt to not be so emotionally dependent on anyone. To much suffering having people in your life. Love is anxiety. Attachment is suffering. Life is suffering. Relationships are two insecure individuals that use and tolerate each other for their own selfish needs and wants all for the fear of being alone. They are all toxic on some level and narcissistically controlled by one. This is not love and this is no way to live but most and many do out of fear. All relationships are full of lies, deceit and manipulative manipulation due to hate which comes from fear. Everything we do is out of fear. If everyone truly knew what everyone was thinking then no one would have any friends and relationships would not be a thing. In the end nothing matters. We are all winging it and we are all on the same sinking boat that inevitably ends in tragedy. Drop the ego and character that you are playing and start living. We are just memories and memories are just brain tissue. When the brain dies consciousness dies and we will cease to exist. The truth about the human condition is that answers will never cure our fears, only acceptance will. It’s all about killing time until you die. Being human is mental health. Smile, you’re alive. We don’t have long
With family members all over the world, do groupchat at prefix time weekly. Happiness = Health+ some money+Family+ GOOD friends +Travel + food. Perfect life = Health + Money + Time . Up to you to choose your 'best life ' and organise yourself.
I find this really weird. My parents weren't all that great to me and now that they are old, they are simply a pain in the butt and I do not want to spend any time with them at all. I will go to Christmas and things but it is not fun for me and all I want to do is get the heck out of there. I also do not date women because it is too much work and again, it is a pain in the butt. I live alone, have a great job, love to exercise and ride around on my numerous toys and I am not lonely one bit. I eat well and am typically super healthy, I talk with people at work but otherwise I am 100% alone and I absolutely love it! I am truly living my best life ever when I realize that people drain me of my energy and I do not really get anything from others. I get my energy from riding my electric unicycle through the mountains or hiking and being alone in nature.
Everyone's journey and relationships with family and others are different, and it's important to honor what feels right for you. It’s great that you have a job you love, and that you enjoy activities that keep you healthy and fulfilled. It's great to hear that you’ve found a way to live authentically, and thanks for sharing your story and perspective.
I hear you, and it's definitely a tough balance. I think everything in life really depends on our own individual circumstances and I appreciate you sharing yours. Let's make the most of this life with our loved ones.
Spending time with God every morning, in His Word which is life giving, sets me up for the day. Once you know the Lord Jesus by spending time with Him daily, you will know your identity in Christ and you will have answers in all areas of your life. The Bible is the only book of wisdom, all life answers are in this book. Christianity is not a religion but a two way relationship with God. Seek His face and continually be in the Word. When you spend time with Him, you will have a peace that goes beyond all human understanding. A peace that the world system will never give you. Once you start speaking what God says about anything in your life, which you find in His Word, when trials come your way, you will know how to ride through it as He always gives you wisdom. Ask and believe that you have received it.
Just found you a few days ago , subscribed 🙌 I resonate with everything you say , it’s crazy , all the questions popping up in my life lately ….being discussed by a complete stranger on you tube . Thanks for sharing your insights and journey 💝
It’s crazy how life works out sometimes isn’t it? I believe in serendipity and everything happens for a reason. Glad you resonated with the videos. 🙏Thanks for being here and part of the community 🙌❤️
Laurie, thank you so much for creating this video. IMHO it’s well crafted. From the aesthetics, the format, audio (what mic are you using?), your story telling, the way you stitch all your talking points together. I could go on and on really. 2 mins into the video I smashed the subscribe button right away. Keep it up. New fan here. 🤘🏽😃
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I'm using this amzn.to/3WpRZI6 for audio. Welcome to the community, and I'm excited to have you along for the journey! 🙌
If I am older, alone in this world with no family, no close trusted friends, no one to love or being loved, what I must do? ( volunteer my time & such I already doing but once go home empty hearted, alone again )
That sounds incredibly challenging, and it’s natural to feel the way you do. You are doing some great things for your community by volunteering. While volunteering is a wonderful way to connect with others, it's also good to focus on building meaningful relationships. Consider joining a club or group that shares your interests or hobbies. Maybe seeking out community programs or local events might help you find people with similar experiences and interests. You’re not alone in feeling this way, and it’s okay to reach out to others. Thanks for sharing your story ❤️
Sure, but also realise that if you're not part of the 1% who experience irrecoverable tragedies, all you are doing with reflection and self improvement is squeezing another few percent happiness out of your life - no real problems/ no real gain.
Life on earth is short but your spiritual life last for eternity. Get to know the creator of life itself and that is The Lord God almighty! Jesus sacrificed his life on the cross so that you can have salvation and eternal life in heaven. 🙏🏼✝️📖
The meaning of life is to worship God, through Jesus Christ and to serve others. “What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” James 4:14
It's okay not to have all the answers right away. Sometimes, just taking small steps towards what feels right can lead to fulfilling and unexpected paths.
Life ain’t short it’s too long,It’s only short when your not doing about your life specially if your just working and working to pay bills that’s makes ur life shorter that’s why get out of big debts so you will have a long life a happy life if you become materialistic you will be in big debts and that’s how depression anxiety panic will reacts your body and your life that’s why be simple in life so life will not be short
What matters most to you in your life? ❤️
Time with loved ones and for doing the work that helps me get to where I want to be in life :-)
MY MAN❤
@@lauriexwang My wife and my daughter
Peace and freedom 😊
Money with freedom,
Thanks Laurie. My wife and I sacrificed a lot to take care of our aging parents. They have now passed and we are grateful for every day spent with them. More importantly we set an example for our 5 kids.
That is so beautiful to hear and well said. I’m glad that you were able to make the most of your time with them. Our kids will learn from the example we set ourselves ❤️ thanks for sharing!
You and your wife are good people sir ❤️❤️💐💐💐 may all blessings came your way 🙏
Taking care of your parents is a blessing and shows amazing character. I'm sorry that they passed but knowing you did everything for them is everything! Blessings to you!
Well said
I need to rush home to hug my daughters after watching this. Thank you for being an inspiration!
Please do! And there are never too many hugs to go around ❤️

Life definitely gets more interesting when I challenged myself and embraced the uncommon path 🙌

Same. tnx.
One thought kept occurring to me while watching this was that I should stop watching UA-cam videos. I do seem to waste too much time here.
Yea but who wants to go out when it's cold in the morning. Maybe one day.
Agreed Luis
True. While we are young it feels like it is never ending but then one day your 50+ and wondering where all the time went.
Absolutely, and time just flew by isn't it!

Absolutely! 🙌
This video made me want to call those who I care about and tell them that I love them and miss them. Thanks Laurie ❤
I agree and it's these reminders that make us grateful for those that we love in our lives. ❤️
Laurie, I greatly appreciate this reminder. Sometimes we get so busy pursuing the things of this world and forget relationships especially post covid pandemic. May God help us.
I’m glad the messages here resonated with you. 🙌 Sometimes the most valuable thing in our life is the most simple and just in front of us all along.

Wealth comes in many forms not just money. Those relationships we make and maintain transcend into true happiness.

Cool, thank you ma'am Laurie. It's actually shorter than we think, coz' around 30 to 50 one becomes weaker (even if one get to be 120 years old, the 70 years coz' one is weaker and slower and one can't go to some place and events with young people, it as if one was just waiting for death for 70 or 90 years if one doesn't go spiritual) some things you won't be able to do physically or can't be ay certain places and events around people who're way younger but things & people won't fulfill, one has to go spiritual- only by doing the goodworks that Jesus truly wants (preferably via the wisdom of the Catholic Church) is the only way to a truly fulfilling life aka a living a truly full life.

It seems you refer to life as only having one!? Live your life and be relentless. Excellent word. I would add: intention, attention, persistent, and consistent. I recognize intention as a goal or journey, apply attention to your goal, and if important enough, be persistent and consistent until whatever end is realized of your goal.
Your life is valuable; in every way you have mentioned, but after you pass on, your physical reality may be over, but your spiritual reality is still relative, and that reality includes family in your last life. Enjoy your life as your have so aptly stated, but spirit never ends, you never end. Your heartfelt message spoke to me, and I wanted to validate you, and speak my mind in response.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your additions of intention, attention, persistence, and consistency are great reminders of how to approach our goals and make the most of our time here.
@@lauriexwang my response to your informative and personal understanding comes from me being a metaphysician for many years. We are androgynous beings, male and female. Our intention - attention comes from our male space, and persistent - consistent comes from our female space. This balance, and this balance is important, of male /female creates our life and decisions. Spirit is changing on the planet, and your messages are a contributing factor. I wanted to acknowledge your effort. I have subscribed. Robert
At the end of life you have to let anything go - even your meaningful life. Your quality family time is not counting - it's just your heartbeat.
Hi Laurie, Amazing video.Really life is short.sometimes we feel drained inconsciously in the adversity.
This IS why we need nice people like you to remind us to focus on what matters in life.
I like too much your positivity and your passion to be the best version of yourself.
New subscriber and a big fan from this moment. l am glad to find your Channel.❤❤❤

Life is meaningless until you give it meaning. You get to choose how much something means to you.
Indeed! 🙌
"If it does not challenge you, it will not change you"
Well said!
Life passes by no matter how much you live in the now. I learnt to not be so emotionally dependent on anyone. To much suffering having people in your life. Love is anxiety. Attachment is suffering. Life is suffering. Relationships are two insecure individuals that use and tolerate each other for their own selfish needs and wants all for the fear of being alone. They are all toxic on some level and narcissistically controlled by one. This is not love and this is no way to live but most and many do out of fear. All relationships are full of lies, deceit and manipulative manipulation due to hate which comes from fear. Everything we do is out of fear. If everyone truly knew what everyone was thinking then no one would have any friends and relationships would not be a thing. In the end nothing matters. We are all winging it and we are all on the same sinking boat that inevitably ends in tragedy. Drop the ego and character that you are playing and start living. We are just memories and memories are just brain tissue. When the brain dies consciousness dies and we will cease to exist. The truth about the human condition is that answers will never cure our fears, only acceptance will. It’s all about killing time until you die. Being human is mental health. Smile, you’re alive. We don’t have long
Awesome video. Life is short period!

Great Video you are very insightful!!
Thank you! 🙌 Glad you found it useful
I find this really weird. My parents weren't all that great to me and now that they are old, they are simply a pain in the butt and I do not want to spend any time with them at all. I will go to Christmas and things but it is not fun for me and all I want to do is get the heck out of there. I also do not date women because it is too much work and again, it is a pain in the butt. I live alone, have a great job, love to exercise and ride around on my numerous toys and I am not lonely one bit. I eat well and am typically super healthy, I talk with people at work but otherwise I am 100% alone and I absolutely love it! I am truly living my best life ever when I realize that people drain me of my energy and I do not really get anything from others. I get my energy from riding my electric unicycle through the mountains or hiking and being alone in nature.
Everyone's journey and relationships with family and others are different, and it's important to honor what feels right for you. It’s great that you have a job you love, and that you enjoy activities that keep you healthy and fulfilled. It's great to hear that you’ve found a way to live authentically, and thanks for sharing your story and perspective.
@@lauriexwang That's sweet. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you!!
You're welcome! 🙌
Thank you for the wake up call ☎️
You're so welcome! 🙌
Yep
Hi there, great content
Thanks for watching and glad you resonated with the video ❤️
Although i know life is short, i still need to work 9-6 everyday to make ends meet.
I hear you, and it's definitely a tough balance. I think everything in life really depends on our own individual circumstances and I appreciate you sharing yours. Let's make the most of this life with our loved ones.
Spending time with God every morning, in His Word which is life giving, sets me up for the day. Once you know the Lord Jesus by spending time with Him daily, you will know your identity in Christ and you will have answers in all areas of your life. The Bible is the only book of wisdom, all life answers are in this book. Christianity is not a religion but a two way relationship with God. Seek His face and continually be in the Word. When you spend time with Him, you will have a peace that goes beyond all human understanding. A peace that the world system will never give you. Once you start speaking what God says about anything in your life, which you find in His Word, when trials come your way, you will know how to ride through it as He always gives you wisdom. Ask and believe that you have received it.

LIFE IS VERY LONELY MAN VERY LONELY
Yes..that's right..we came alone and has to go alone.
Laurie, thank you so much for creating this video. IMHO it’s well crafted. From the aesthetics, the format, audio (what mic are you using?), your story telling, the way you stitch all your talking points together. I could go on and on really. 2 mins into the video I smashed the subscribe button right away. Keep it up. New fan here. 🤘🏽😃
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I'm using this amzn.to/3WpRZI6 for audio. Welcome to the community, and I'm excited to have you along for the journey! 🙌
@@lauriexwangThanks for sharing the link. That is one expensive mic. No wonder the sound quality is well balanced.
Yes. I should have spent more quality time with my daughter.
Now I am suffering from depression. Can't spend quality time for now. I love my daughter
I'm so sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing your very personal story and I hope that you can get more time with her soon.
If I am older, alone in this world with no family, no close trusted friends, no one to love or being loved, what I must do? ( volunteer my time & such I already doing but once go home empty hearted, alone again )
That sounds incredibly challenging, and it’s natural to feel the way you do. You are doing some great things for your community by volunteering. While volunteering is a wonderful way to connect with others, it's also good to focus on building meaningful relationships. Consider joining a club or group that shares your interests or hobbies. Maybe seeking out community programs or local events might help you find people with similar experiences and interests. You’re not alone in feeling this way, and it’s okay to reach out to others. Thanks for sharing your story ❤️
Life is not short. It's very long. It only feels short because of regret.
cool story bro
❤thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for being part of the community 🙌
Sure, but also realise that if you're not part of the 1% who experience irrecoverable tragedies, all you are doing with reflection and self improvement is squeezing another few percent happiness out of your life - no real problems/ no real gain.
Amazing!!!!
Thanks! Glad you found it useful 🙌
Just subscribed!! Great video ❤
Great to have you as part of the community! Thank you for being here ❤️

Thanks and glad you resonated with the message too 🙌
Laurie she she❤
Life is incredibly long depending on what you are doing and how you feel.
Indeed, very true!
Good!
Thanks!
Thanks, Laurie Wang for your excellent motivational video. Maintaining relationship is technique, is not it?
Yes, absolutely! I'm glad you found it helpful 🙌
Life on earth is short but your spiritual life last for eternity. Get to know the creator of life itself and that is The Lord God almighty! Jesus sacrificed his life on the cross so that you can have salvation and eternal life in heaven. 🙏🏼✝️📖
But Jesus sacrifice is a concept by Paul and never by Jesus or his close disciples.
The meaning of life is to worship God, through Jesus Christ and to serve others. “What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” James 4:14
Amen.
From the perspective of Christianity, it is the law speaking. We must hear the other voice. But it is impossible without the grace of God.
I have been looking into my senior years as I am getting old. I still don't know what to do.
It's okay not to have all the answers right away. Sometimes, just taking small steps towards what feels right can lead to fulfilling and unexpected paths.
Life ain’t short it’s too long,It’s only short when your not doing about your life specially if your just working and working to pay bills that’s makes ur life shorter that’s why get out of big debts so you will have a long life a happy life if you become materialistic you will be in big debts and that’s how depression anxiety panic will reacts your body and your life that’s why be simple in life so life will not be short
Nice~
