A Deliberate Life

| There comes a time in all of our lives when we let ourselves dream about living life on our own terms. When we wrestle with the decision to take a step into traffic, follow our passions and live deliberately – or simply let another day, and daydream, pass.

In the end, it doesn’t matter if we make the decision of our own accord, or life makes it for us. It’s where our heart and soul are that matter. For some, the result is a closer alignment between vocation and avocation, for some it’s a reprioritization of what’s important in life, for some it’s the very real difference between life and death.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Life on purpose makes a lot more sense than life that’s passive.

The Man in the Arena – The Brave Ones


“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt

Let’s face it, Theodore Roosevelt might have been the burliest man in history.  For God’s sake, the guy was shot at close range, suffered a flesh wound, and still managed to continue his presidential speech with the bullet still in his body — the guy knew what he was talking about.  “The Man in the Arena” is one of my favorite quotes, and the video above is a great visual addition to inspiring words. Have a good weekend folks!

The Questions We Ask

| What is adventure? I’m not too sure we know these days.

I know I throw this word around a lot here, but this was INCREDIBLE (and to be honest I sure hope I throw this word around a lot, because that’s the type of content I’m always looking for SN#7!).  The visuals, the poetic contemplative conversation, it’s all incredible and says more 3 minutes than most of us can say in a lifetime.  Inspirational on so many levels:

“Adventure is curiosity, The willingness to embrace uncertainty, wonder about the possibility of doing just one thing differently than before”.

Have a good weekend, folks.

Make It Count

This was remarkable, I always love coming across videos that don’t say a word but can still speak volumes.  There’s such a crazy contrast between the mellow melody playing in the background and the increased movement seen in the timelapse, all while speaking on a single message:

| “Everybody has a life, but the problem is, we only got one. Every step you take, can affect that one, time never stands still, life isn’t slowing down or waiting for you. So, live your dream, and dream you life, and make it count!”
