All aboard

 Life. Whether you get on board or not it will move forward until it ends for each and every one of us. I don't know what getting "on board" life means to others but for me it means being engaged with my own life and to do that I have to have the right attitudes and the right reasons for those attitudes; if I have that, I'm on the aerobridge and prepared to board. But, of course, it takes more than that to have a meaningful existence...well, who wants to simply exist when life can be so much more than a period of time in which we simply *exist?* Anyway, to have a meaningful life it takes some effort, compromise, planning and strategy and luck...although we should be working to create our own luck rather than leave it to chance I think. It takes many elements coming together to create an enjoyable life and if we are not focused on those things we're not "on board" our own journey of life. I don't know what all that means to you and in truth it matters so little to me what you do with your life; what matters to me is how I live my life and what I do each and every day to make sure to set myself up for a better day than the previous one. You should care though. I don't mean about my life and what I do to make it the best one possible. I mean, you should care about your own and you should care a lot. Do you? If the answer is yes then you're on board and if the answer is no then you might already be dead but not know it.
