Live the Breadth of Life
I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
— Diane Ackerman
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Most people die at about age 24, they just wait until years later to be buried.— Zig Ziglar

What comprises the width of your life? What matters greatly to you? What makes you truely happy? What makes life worth living for you?
You are the only one who knows the answers to these questions. No one else can give you the answers. Don’t allow yourself to create answers that you SHOULD have. Living life based on the shoulda’s and the oughta’s only results in resentment and failure.
Think about what you spend your time on when you have nothing else to do. Think about what your mind wanders to when it has nothing else to think about. What craving do you have that keeps coming back to you even after you try to squelch it? Throw away the goals that you set because you feel you SHOULD reach them … and set new goals based on the things that really are a deep and integral part of YOU!
