Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines!

Life will always be full of deadlines. They're something we don't look forward to. Even something that we might dread. In school, we have due dates for assignments and projects. Don't forget about exam dates, which are in a way studying deadlines we have to meet. When applying to a professional program or for a job, we have application deadlines with transcripts we have to order, resumes we have to update and personal essays we might have to write. In work, we have project, task and report deadlines which might cost millions if we fail to meet them. When we want to earn designation we have licensing tests and deadlines. Then we have the most dreaded and the final deadline of life - death.

Life would be miserable if we over-occupy our minds thinking about upcoming deadlines. We would just be constantly dreading and would not be able to live and enjoy life. That would be such a waste.

Enjoy life, explore life, LIVE life. Don't lose focus of your goals but don't only focus on the end, you need to enjoy the journey getting there.
