American entrepreneur and author of books Gary Vaynerchuk shared a phrase that you should repeat to yourself every morning in order not to forget about the most important thing in this life.
The best motivating phrase consists of just three words: "You are not eternal." I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just talking to the point. We only have one life to be happy. There will be no other possibility. Instead of sitting still and complaining that you are doing something you hate, just take it and move from complaints to action.
There are too many people in the world who are concerned about the happiness of others, although it would not hurt them to take care of their own. Do you know why I enjoy making other people happy and motivating them to succeed? Because I'm already happy myself. It may sound selfish, but the first step is to make yourself happy, and then you can do the happiness of other people.
I ask you to honestly ask yourself, is what you are doing now makes you more successful? Not only in work, but also in everyday life. A happy person realizes that it is much more important not how much money he makes, but how he does it.
When I was in my early 20s, I spent a lot of time surrounded by people over 90. No matter where or when I met them - traveling or working in the wine industry - I asked them to tell me about their life. All of them began with the words "It's a pity that …" Some regretted that they had not worked harder in their time. Others lamented that they spent little time with loved ones. Still others - that they did not do what they really wanted, but obeyed the will of their parents. They were sorry, sorry, sorry
If during the time of communication with these old people I learned something, then this can be expressed in one phrase:
There is no better time to take action than now.
If you are in your early 20s, this is the time. Now is not the right time to try with all your might to become more practical, to make a lot of money and buy something that will definitely attract attention, such as a luxury car.
Understand that you have about five years to actively build the life that you want to have. Travel with your friends, discover this world for yourself, put together a rock band where you can show your talents, and if there are still eight other people living in your apartment besides you, organize some kind of society of interests out of them. Since most of us do not have any major obligations, now is the time to make your life the way you would like it to be.
And even if you are in your 40s, 50s, 60s or more, you still have enough time to become a happy person. Anything is possible if you really want to. Maybe instead of retiring, you need to focus on what you really want.
Someday we will all die. Regardless of how old you are, you need to take advantage of the time you have to become a happy person. Now we have before us an unprecedented number of opportunities that allow us to build the kind of life we would like to have.
I had to write this post to express my attitude to what I have seen over the past few years. I've noticed that people often miss opportunities. They think they can take advantage of them at any time. People live as if they have an unlimited amount of time. But we all know that this is not the case.
If my words force at least one person to reconsider their behavior, ask themselves the same question or not miss an opportunity, then I did not write the article in vain. Because we only have one life for all this.
Every morning, the phrase “You don't last forever” should get you out of bed and do what you want to do. You only have one life, one opportunity. Nothing poisons a person's life more than regret. So stop making excuses for yourself and start your journey to happiness.

When something went wrong, but it didn't stop anyone. If you approach a task irresponsibly and without any desire to do well, then the result of such work is unlikely to please anyone. It is much more likely that these works will become the subject of ridicule and a model of how to do unnecessary.
