There's no time like the present to do the things that are important to you, Dr. Robin says. Don't put things off because you are too busy or too stubborn! 

• If you are a father who works long hours and rarely sees your children, now is the time to spend quality time with them—otherwise, you'll regret it when they grow older.
• If you are a daughter who has fought with your mother and aren't talking to her, now is the time to pick up the phone and reach out.
• If you are a couple that has neglected your marriage for your career, now is the time to dedicate time to your relationship.

If you don't live in the face of life, you may not have another chance, Dr. Robin says.
