I hope my message has at least jarred you into rethinking the standard and conventional approaches to living one’s life — get a good job, work hard through endless hours, and then retire in your sixties or seventies and live out your days in your so-called golden years.

Rather than just focusing on saving up for a big pot full of money that you will most likely not be able to spend in your lifetime, live your life to the fullest now.

I tell you, it really is the way to live. — Bob Hoskins
The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he is working.

These things are your becoming. — Cheryl Strayed
