Here’s a list of life is too short quotes. Although there are plenty of times in life where one can feel as though life will last forever, in the whole grand scheme of things, we exist only for a tiny fraction of time. No one knows for certain what comes after death. Maybe something, maybe nothing. As far as anyone can proof, we’ve got one life to live.
When we were younger, many of us couldn’t wait to become older. The perks of driving, being on our own, and doing what we want were enticing enough for us to want time to speed up. As we get older, we realize just how fast time flies by and wish it would slow down. Anyone who has kids will tell you just how fast time can seem to move along. One minute, your kids are in diapers and the next minute, they’re off getting married and having kids of their own. Life really is short and until you can grasp that, you might not be able to appreciate what you have.
When you realize how short life is, you’ll begin to understand why wasting even a day is unwise. There are only so many days left. Once a day goes by, it’s gone, forever. Every time the clock ticks, you’re one tick closer to that inevitable final moment. Whatever it is that you want to do with your life, do it now. There really is no time to waste. If you love to sleep, don’t worry, once your life is over, you’ll get to sleep for a really, really long time. Hopefully, one of these quotes about life being too short will help encourage to you spend time more wisely.
