I've noticed that every time I am told to "live a little..." it usually encourages me to do something that may be potentially hazardous to my livelihood.
Oftentimes "live a little..." is associated with eating excessively greasy food, having another shot of tequila at the bar, trespassing, committing a crime, gambling with rent money, engaging in sleep deprivation, hunting, eloping, using drugs, etc.
"Live a little..." can take the form of a wolf in sheep's clothing, excusing some form of misconduct.
The next time I come across it, I'll be prepared to look it in the eye and investigate what lies behind the curtain: an invitation to take part of my own life or do ill upon myself....
Buyers beware!

I do not do bored...
When I tell people, "I do not do bored", I often receive a look of mild disgust, disbelief, or both. Apparently claiming immunity from boredom translates into arrogance or ignorance which is far from what I aim to claim.
"I'm bored..." is not part of my lexicon because I hold a great deal of reverence for life and to make such a claim would be to hold life responsible for failing at providing me with entertainment! Instead, I prefer to hold on to contentment and view every moment as an opportunity to evolve...
Life is a precious gift; all we have is TODAY and that's why we call it the PRESENT!
