Life Lessons from Jimmy Buffett

In 2015, I did a daily tweet called #LifeLessonsFromJimmyBufett and I felt I needed to bring them back in August 2017 for a month. The lessons still ring true for me. Just little reminders about life, love, and luck. After all, I do have two lyrics tattooed by the man on me as a reminder how to live life.

Below is what I posted on Twitter. Click the above link to see all of August & 2015 if you’d like.

  1. According to my watch the time is now. The past is dead and gone.

  4. I’d rather die while I’m living than live while I’m dead.

  15. It’s not the tales of Stephen King that I’ve read, I need protection from the things in my head
  16. I’ve seen too much not to stay in touch with a world full of love and luck
  17. There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me and I know that I just can’t go wrong

  25. If you keep living straight from the heart, you will know when to start and to stop

  27. Living large was once the deal, now I watch the stars instead
  28. I’m just tryin’ to get by being quiet and shy in a world full of pushin’ and shove
