Look well therefore to this day.”- Bruce Lee

Make something. - Jason Markow

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners. I wish someone had told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap.

And your taste is why your work disappoints you…We all go through this… you gotta know that it’s normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. It’s only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions.” - Ira Glass

“Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.” - Stephen Colbert

“Live your life now. Tomorrow is promised to no one. The only things you regret are the things you did not do. Be real. Forgive. Slow down. Be yourself, you are beautiful. Have the courage to live a life that is true to yourself, not the life others expect of you. Play more, think less. Your first decision each day is the most important. Choose happiness. Make time for family; in the end, they are everything. Be intentional in your living; strive to create beautiful moments. Tell the people you love what you appreciate about them; speak from the heart. They might cry. A dream unfulfilled is a tragedy. Be crazy about something. Honor your promises. You have a great bottle of wine; drink it. Sometimes we are scared. It’s OK. Go on an adventure. Shared experience are precious beyond measure. Achievement tastes most sweet when at first we dare to fail. Don’t wait for a special occasion; life is a special occasion. Live Joyfully.”
“Love is what we take with us wherever we go.”
“Life isn’t about waiting out the storm. Life is about learning to dance in the rain.”

Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.” - Anthony Robbins
“Legacy is greater than currency.” – GaryVaynerchuk
"However, I am no nihilist. I am not even a cynic. I am, actually, rather romantic. And here’s my idea of romance: You will soon be dead. Life will sometimes seem long and tough and, god, it’s tiring. And you will sometimes be happy and sometimes sad. And then you’ll be old. And then you’ll be dead. There is only one sensible thing to do with this empty existence, and that is: fill it. Not fillet. Fill. It. And in my opinion (until I change it), life is best filled by learning as much as you can about as much as you can, taking pride in whatever you’re doing, having compassion, sharing ideas, running(!), being enthusiastic. And then there’s love, and travel, and wine, and sex, and art, and kids, and giving, and mountain climbing … but you know all that stuff already. It’s an incredibly exciting thing, this one, meaningless life of yours." - Tim Minchin
