I don't take friends and family members for granted and I tell them I love and appreciate them often.

The road to my grave is going to be a rocky one filled with many joys and dissapointments but it's going to be one hell of a ride. I don't want any regrets when my time comes.
My biggest fear is that I'm not doing this. Living life to the fullest is a great concept but sometimes its hard not to get caught up in the day to day grind and realize a few years have passed without really getting out of that rut. But its true. You need to start living now, you can't wait until tomorrow or the perfect time or place to do something you want to do. There is never a perfect time. I think the most successful people are the ones who have the courage to keep that in mind and take the necessary steps they need to despite the fear of failure.
