Soaring through Life (Enjoying Every Minute of It)

Don't ever let the fear of crashing keep you from trying to fly.
Life isn't safe and sometimes you have to take chances in order to fully live your life. Don't jump off buildings or leap from a moving vehicle, but be willing to take the necessary risks that appear daily. If you spend your whole life avoiding things that might prove dangerous or painful, you'll avoid all the things that make life worth living in the end. Then what have you spent all your life protecting? An empty life? So be sure to live your life in a meaningful way that leaves you with more memories than regrets. After all, it's only the things worth dying for that are truly worth living for. Find those things and dare to take the risk.
Don't let the knowledge that it will soon end keep you from enjoying each song.
Often, we focus on the end of something - a vacation, a friendship, a relationship, or even a life - to the point that we can't enjoy it while it lasts. Instead, we need to stop focusing on the ending and be content to enjoy the music, so that when the end comes, we will have experienced and enjoyed something beautiful. If you spend all the time while the song is playing panicking about when it will end, you won't be truly listening to it. You will have wasted the time that it played. Everything has an ending, but don't ever let that stop you from enjoying it while it lasts.
