Life is short. Eat the dessert first sometimes.

We spend so much of life doing things in the "proper" order. Work first, then rest. Vegetables first, then dessert. Duty first, then joy.

And that's mostly wise. But sometimes — just sometimes — eat the dessert first.

Take the afternoon off. Say yes to the trip. Order the mango cake before the main course.

Life is short and unpredictable. Joy doesn't always wait politely for its turn.
