The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
My mom always said,"If you don't like where you are…just picture where you wannabe."
I never wanted to be a rock star. I just wanted to play music.
"History is not the past. It is the method we have evolved of organizing our ignorance of the past."
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
