Since the very beginning man has asked the question, "what is
the purpose of life?" Well perhaps the purpose of life is “to test to the limits of the
human heart.” –Bill Bowerman,
Without Limits
It’s to love even at the risk of not being loved back. Take
on a task bigger than you knowing you might fail. Push yourself to the brink
and collapse! It’s time to stop playing it safe because by doing so we’re
holding ourselves back from such an amazing life.
Now is the time to see what
you're capable of, because “what we do in life, echoes in eternity.” –Maximumus, Gladiator
And this means you can be a positive influence in the world around you. You have it in you to be the inspiration for another. All you have to do is “live by the ABC’s; Adventurous, brave,
creative.” –Walter Mitty, The
Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Or you can do nothing, but I can only imagine there is little
worse than looking back on your life and having to say to yourself, “I have done nothing. And for
that I am ashamed.” –Benjamin Martin, The Patriot
The
opportunities for adventure are all around you and you can't let the possibility of failure stop you. because if you do, “no one will remember your
name.” –Achilles, Troy
And IF “you’ve got a dream you’ve got to protect
it.” –Christopher Gardner, The
Pursuit of Happyness
Don’t let others decide if you get to live out
your dreams or not. There isn’t a person in this world who has the right to
tell another to give up on a dream. It’s no one’s right to choose your dreams. The choice is 110% up to you of what your dreams can and will be.
You can choose what you want to be and where you want to live,
“but
the home we seek resides not in some distant land, it's in us, and in our
actions on this day!” –Arthur, King Arthur
Build in yourself a calm, self-sustaining happiness. Find
the balance of being content with who you are now and working towards who you can
become.
Work each and every day towards becoming a better person and remember, “there
is no tomorrow, there is no tomorrow.” –Apollo Creed, Rocky III
“I’ll work out tomorrow,” “I’ll start planning that trip
tomorrow,” “I’ll go talk to that boy/girl tomorrow.” Stop putting your life off until tomorrow! Start living it now because the truth is we are all running out of
tomorrows. By living for tomorrow, you aren’t creating the life of your dreams,
you're creating a life of regret. Make it happen today!
Learn from the people that have experienced success. “They
are an intriguing people. From the moment they wake they devote themselves to
the perfection of whatever they pursue.” –Algren, The Last Samurai
Whatever it is you decide to do with your life, become a
master of it. Spend your days constantly studying and learning how to improve
upon your trade. Read books, listen to podcasts, take classes, and practice.
Align your choices with your purpose and work tirelessly on your cause.
Now go get what’s yours. Only you can decide to live out
your passion. Don’t wait for the “right time,” “This is your time. Now go out there and
take it.” –Herb Brooks, Miracle
LIVE it Up,
Zach
