    Today, as I took my evening walk, I listened to Doris Day’s songs. I discovered her song “Whatever Will Be Will Be – Que Sera, Sera” in high school. I fell in love with the song and later discovered her other awesome songs. Her songs are on my playlist because she is one of my favorite artists of all time.

    As I walked and listened to Doris Day’s songs, I sang along. The beats were therapeutic and the lyrics uplifting.  

    When the song “Enjoy Yourself (It’s Later Than You Think)” started playing, I was ecstatic. It’s one of my favorite songs by Doris Day.

    Doris Day was born on April 3, 1922, in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. She was a renowned singer and actress. She died on 13thMay, 2019 at the age of 97 years.

    Doris Day sang “Enjoy Yourself (It’s Later Than You Think)” in 1950. That means the song is 74 years old!

    I love this classic song because of its upbeat and catchy tune. In addition, and most importantly, this song has a poignant message.

    As I listened to the song, I realized that although it’s 74 years old, the message applies to all of us, today more than ever. This hit is timeless!

    Life Lessons You Can Learn From the Song “Enjoy Yourself (It’s Later Than You Think)”

    As I analyzed the lyrics of this song, I learned the following amazing things about life:

    Always Remember That Life Is Unpredictable

    As I said in the post, 16 secrets of life to help you navigate through life, life is unpredictable. Life is full of surprises, pleasant and unpleasant, no matter how well and carefully you plan.

    This song urges you to seize your opportunity today because you can’t tell what will happen tomorrow. So, the time to be happy is today, not tomorrow.

    Don’t Wait For The “Right Time” To Enjoy Life

    There is no right time to enjoy life. If you’re waiting for the right time, it may never come. You are here today and gone tomorrow. So, enjoy your life now. Don’t wait for the ‘right time’ for it may never come.

    Enjoy Your Life While You’re Still In Good Shape

    The part that says, “while you’re still in the pink” means while you’re still in great condition and in good health.

    You see, the best time to enjoy your life is now when you’re still in excellent condition. Life is unpredictable, so you don’t know how your health will be tomorrow.

    So, take advantage of your energy, vitality, and good health. Enjoy your life today while you still can.

    Make Personal Relationships A Priority Rather Than Material Things

    I like the part of the song that says, “Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams, your ravishing brunette. She’s left you, and she’s now become somebody else’s pet.” This explains what happens when you neglect the people you love as you chase material things.

    You and your loved ones could drift apart as you chase material things. By the time you realize your mistake, the bus could have left.

    So, prioritize your relationships, love, and memorable experiences over material possessions.

    Balance Play and Work

    The line that says, “You’ve got to learn to live a little, love a little, and let your poor heart sing”, means you should try to live a balanced life.

    Work is essential, but so is enjoying yourself.

    So, don’t allow work to consume you so much that you forget to live.  Balance play and work for a happy and fulfilling life.

    Enjoy Your Life Today To Avoid Regrets

    If you keep postponing your happiness, time may run out because tomorrow is unpredictable.

    So, enjoy your life today before it’s too late. You don’t want to have regrets in the future, do you? Embrace happiness now.

    Being Happy Is A Choice – Choose Happiness

    Do you want to start enjoying your life today and be happy? You can, because happiness is a choice.

    You can choose to start enjoying your life today rather than postponing it.

    Choose to be happy from today onward. Being happy is within your control. It’s a choice you have to make if you want to live a fulfilling and joyful life.

    Conclusion

    So, I urge you to enjoy yourself today because it’s later than you think. Life is too short to merely focus on work, planning for the future, and postponing your happiness.

    Pursue your happiness and live your life to the fullest right NOW. It’s later than you think. Cheers!
