On their death bed, nobody wishes they'd worked more. 

That's the trite little phrase people trot out when they want to play hookey, or spend too much money on vacation, or shame working parents for missing their kids' soccer game for a board meeting. 

On your death bed, no one wishes they'd worked more. 

Tell that to the people who love their work. 

It's not about whether you spend your life in a boardroom, your bedroom, or a beach with a mai tai in Maui, when you look back on your life, the only thing that matters is: Did you spend it doing what you love, with the people you love?

 Were you happy? Did you make the most of this beautiful, terrifying, messed up life? 

Did you let go of all the things that held you back? 

So you can hold on to what matters most.
