    “Whenever you see that something is creating misery, drop it then and there—don’t hold it for a single moment. This is courage: courage to live, courage to risk, courage to adventure. And only those who are courageous are one day rewarded by the whole, by light, by love, bliss, and benediction.”

    Osho, Everyday Osho (Page 42)

      “Never settle for any mediocrity, because that is a sin against life. Never ask that life should be without risk, and never ask for security, because that is asking for death.”

      Osho, Everyday Osho (Page 41)

        “When you live with the understanding that each moment might be your last, everything changes. You begin loving the people in your life harder. You begin sacrificing your body and soul to make good work. You begin living with an insatiable appetite to devour the moment you’re living in now. It will feel foreign but it will ignite your being. Death will no longer scare you as you come to the profound realization that the only death you truly face is not living fully now. So, please. I beg you. Devour this moment whole, my friend.”

        Cole Schafer (January Black), One Minute, Please? (Page 122)

          “Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I’m not living.”

          Jonathan Safran Foer, via One Minute, Please? (Page 76)

            “A few short rules worth living by: 1) Make good art. 2) Live fast. 3) Pet dogs. 4) Give without expectation. 5) Say nice things to others, daily. 6) Leave people better than you found them. 7) Buy experiences more often than products. 8) Always make time for coffee with people you care about.”

              “Do not live half a life

              and do not die a half death.

              If you choose silence, 

              then be silent.

              When you speak, 

              do so until you are finished.

              If you accept, 

              then express it bluntly.

              Do not mask it.

              If you refuse 

              then be clear about it

              for an ambiguous refusal 

              is but a weak acceptance.

              Do not accept half a solution

              Do not believe half truths

              Do not dream half a dream

              Do not fantasize about half hopes.

              Half the way will get 

              you nowhere.

              You are a whole that exists 

              to live a life.

              Not half a life.”

              Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

                “If you’d like to do something bold with your life, you will have to choose to do something bold on a specific day. There is no perfect day. There is no right time. For the trajectory to change, there has to be one day when you simply make the choice.”
