Life, this fragile tether to our world – it is everything, and nothing, in the blink of an eye.

We take it for granted. We are here, and firmly held to our place in the world. No one dares to think that it could disappear without warning.

It is a naive view, and yet many think they cannot live otherwise. And so we let time pass, and tell ourselves “I’ll do it tomorrow. I’ll be somebody in a year or two.”

Live instead.
Dare to believe in the impossible – in what your eyes cannot see but your heart cannot deny.
Love with everything you have – give your heart, toss aside self doubt and your fears of rejection.
Chase that which you only let yourself dream about in the darkest hours of the night.
Speak your mind so the world can get to know the real you.
Be who you are meant to be everyday, do not wait for some distant point in the future.
Don’t be afraid to laugh or cry, rejoice or mourn. These are the things that make us human, and allow us to live to the full extent of our capabilities.

Remember those that you have lost, who left before their time. Your memory of them, the place they held in this world and the lives they changed are their legacy.
