Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake… —Sir Frances Bacon

PURPOSE
Don't ever give up. Don't ever give in. Don't ever stop trying. Don't ever sell out.

But never, ever, ever give up. #<Author:0x00007efcc224e878>

PERSPECTIVE
That thing that you do, after your day job, in your free time, too early in the morning, too late at night. That thing you read about, write about, think about, in fact fantasize about. That thing you do when you’re all alone and there’s no one to impress, nothing to prove, no money to be made, simply a passion to pursue. That’s it. That’s your thing. That’s your heart, your guide. That’s the thing you must, must do. #<Author:0x00007efcc24123a8>
PURPOSE
Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. #<Author:0x00007efcc23eec78>
