The old saying:
"Life Waits for No One!"
Do not look back on your life and wonder what happened, fulfill your dreams, goals and desires.
Refer to #60 - Make your life matter.
The way to do that is by leaving your legacy, that you left things better than you found them, you made a difference to someone and you fulfilled all your dreams:

Great list! Thanks for sharing, life is too short to let the little things get you down, focus on the good! Always treasure the good in life!

What? Do all of these things in one day. No I know you can't do that, but just one a day would be good, and develop great habits while having a better life.
Thanks for this list. I think I'll need a big fridge magnet to keep it in place.
