You have to live while you're living.
Let me tell you a story about someone we'll name Pat.
Pat is a fitness nut, who doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs, or, even eat cake. Pat's favorite guilty pleasure food is pizza. He eats a slice one time every year to celebrate for new years, (woohoo).
Unfortunately, Pat oneday was jogging as he does every morning, and, got hit by a car. When Pat was rushed to the hospital the doctors discovered Pat had an incurable disease. The doctors told him he was dying. They gave Pat 6 months to live. Pat went home devastaded and cried. To keep his mind off of things Pat did what he always do. He continued to be a strict eater, and, went jogging in the morning.
Someone asked Pat, "why do you continue to exercise, and, eat right when you could eat all the Pizza you want since your diagnosis". Pat replied, "you don't understand, living to be great, and, doing things others don't have the balls to do gives me an orgasm. If I die today I would have lived striving".
Pat died the next day while jogging.
R.I.P. Pat
P.S. Do not start getting mushy people I made this story up. Hope you enjoyed the metaphor.
