Tips in Leading the Seamless Life™
#8 - The Path in Reverse
The Seamless Life is a path you take that leads you to create a
life that is fulfilling and satisfying in every way. Walking down a new
path is often difficult. We can forget to pack our sense of humor as
part of what we carry down the path.
When that happens to us, we get out this message, called "Reverse
Living." It's a good reminder to keep a smile with us on the journey.
Reverse Living
Life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time, all
your weekends, and what do you get at the end of
it...? Death, a great reward.
I think that the life cycle is all backwards. You
should die first, get it out of the way, then you live
twenty years in an old age home. You get kicked
out when you're too young, you get a gold watch,
you go to work. You work forty years until you're
young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You go to college, you do drugs, you do alcohol,
you party, until you're ready for high school.
You go to high school, you go to grade school,
you become a little kid, you play, you have no
responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go
back into the womb, you spend your last nine
months floating, and you finish off as a gleam
in somebody's eye.
