Recently, this (below) came to mind. Found in one of my 'original' journals from much 'earlier' days circa 1994. It was given to me by one of my first rowing coaches/ chemistry teachers.
If I had to live my life over again, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.
I'd relax.
I would limber up.
I would be sillier than I have been this trip.
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would take more chances.
I would take more trips. I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.
If I had it to do again, I would travel lighter than I have.
I would start barefoot earlier in the Spring and stay that way later in the Fall.
I would go to more dances.
I would ride more merry-go-rounds.
I would pick more daisies.

With similar sentiments, this (below) is on the wall in the 'guest' bathroom. It makes me think of an 'old' rowing friend from university days. She had it on her dresser mirror in her bedroom.
Dance like there's nobody watching...
Sing like there's nobody listening...
Love like you'll never get hurt...
Live like there's heaven on Earth.
-- Mark Twain
