Plants don't care if you're mean or yell at them. As long as they have water and light they will grow no matter your attitude. Somehow I find that more meaningful than the belief that things can only work with love.

Any time I get tired or annoyed with my wife, or friends, or dogs…I imagine a future where I’ve lost them to some horrible accident or doggy old age.

How would I want to treat them if I knew our time together was so limited and precious?

With that knowledge, how would I treat the people I care about?

It really transforms how you treat the people around you, and you realize it only takes a little additional effort to make your wife breakfast for instance, or rub her feet for 5 minutes and talk about her day.

Plus, my dogs get a lot of treats and walks.

I just never want to look back and regret wasting that time, or realize I treated people badly when I could have been kind, or take any of it for granted.

I sometimes say this to myself - imagine you are 80 years old, looking back at your life and wishing you got to redo it.

Suddenly your wish is granted and you are back in time. Now, open your eyes and fix that which your old self regrets.
