Live for something rather than die for nothing
"Live for something rather than die for nothing" is a powerful and famous quote by George S. Patton. It is powerful because it makes you think about how you should be spending your time. Does the quote say exist for something? Of course not, it says live for something. Living is not simply existing. Living is what gives our existence here meaning. So if you are not spending the majority of your time on things that are meaningful to you then you are essentially not living, you are just existing.
So what is really meant by "living for something"? It is putting your actions into motion to affect your life and the lives of others in a meaningful way. That something is your burning passion, the prime mover of your being. Living for something is a great way to truly positively impact your life and the people around you.
What's the alternative? That would be dying for nothing. I couldn't imagine a worse fate as having the great gift of life and not getting anything out of it and not doing anything with it. I am an ambitious person, so I tend to set the bar pretty high for myself.
When I fail in doing something that I set out to do it does not discourage me. I recognize all that I will gain and learn much on the journey. If your intentions are set and you persist through failure, then only time will separate you from your goals.
Remember that time is money so spend your time wisely, don't die for nothing.
Love to all.

Finding our Why is such an important quest to take on 🌟.
And then making sure that what we do everyday stays aligned with our purpose is the other part of the equation 💫✨
