it's a good reminder to shape it up
Designing and creating ones ideal life is shaping it up and it's important for a person to know what it looks like then actively pursue it.
I know there's people out there who are happy to float through life and let it happen as it may, and if that's their desire and choice, so be it. However exerting some influence on life, taking charge, is a better way to attain the best result. Still, some will now, and often they're filled with regret later on.
