“You only get one life. And before you know it, it’ll be over. You’ll go to sleep one day in your twenties, then wake up in your fifties. The purpose of life isn’t to sit around waiting for something to happen on a wing and prayer; you have to make it happen. You can spend your whole life searching for unsolved mysteries or waiting for someone to fall in love with you, but at the end of your life you’ll realize you’ve wasted your time. You’ve missed all of the beauty in the world in search of a vague dream or an answer to a question that has none. The purpose of life isn’t to wait for things to fall into your lap. The purpose of life is to live.”
Brent Saltzman, The Lost World: A Retelling
