The old saying:
"Life Waits for No One!"
Do not look back on your life and wonder what happened, fulfill your dreams, goals and desires.
Refer to #60 - Make your life matter.
The way to do that is by leaving your legacy, that you left things better than you found them, you made a difference to someone and you fulfilled all your dreams:

What? Do all of these things in one day. No I know you can't do that, but just one a day would be good, and develop great habits while having a better life.
Thanks for this list. I think I'll need a big fridge magnet to keep it in place.
