The Motto

A few years ago, call it a decade, I grew tired of the societally acceptable notion that we should all start working and saving in our twenties in order to enjoy our sixties. The way I see it, you should live for today, whilst trying to open, or keep open, many doors moving forward.

Follow your passions, and you'll realize that the opportunities that you turn your back on are the ones you didn't truly want in the first place. Furthermore, you'll find that they are replaced by a new set of opportunities that exceed your expectations.

See the world, volunteer, learn a language, become a teacher/instructor of something that interests you... But make sure to be fully present, fully engaged, and learning all that you can from every success and every setback.

Live for today, and let every tomorrow start with a higher footing.

If you see an opportunity that interests you, step up with both feet... and dive in head first.
