We interrupt the week’s frantic shopping, work and studies to bring you this important public message:

Do not wait to live your life until you find the perfect man or woman.

If the Sexiest Man Alive (so named by People magazine), Ryan Reynolds, and the Sexiest Woman Alive (so named by Esquire magazine), Scarlett Johansson, cannot find happiness together and are throwing in the towel after just two years, why do people persist in thinking Mr. or Ms. Wonderful will make everything right? As comic Tina Fey apparently said when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broke up, “If these two are tired of having sex with each other, what hope is there for the rest of us?”

I’ve said it before: Don’t hang your hopes on meeting Mr./Ms. Wonderful, getting thin or winning the lottery. Don’t wait to live your life. Go do it now.
