Live Like You Are Dying Tomorrow....Uh, No.

I hate it when people say this.

If we were to take them literally, then we'd spend everyday hanging out with family and never be able to make enough money to eat or pay rent or live and explore life.

Let's clear this up.  I think a better statement would be to tell people to "Allow yourself to be open to any experience."

In order to get the most out of your life you need to be able to experience anything.  Don't hold back.  The main idea behind the like you are dying statement is that if you keep putting everything off until tomorrow, you'll never get to it.  If you keep waiting for the "right" moment for things, you will never experience anything.

Life is messy and problematic.  There is nothing you can do to change it, so embrace it!
