“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” ~ Theodore RooseveltSo recently I argued against pursuing a passion whole-heartedly.
Today I argue in favor of doing just that.
As Roosevelt indicates, doing something is better than doing nothing, even when you fail.
I love philosophical discussions, because no real consequences exist regardless of the outcome of the discussion. We could talk about this forever without suffering any result, other than boring ourselves silly eventually.
Now what you actually DO based on these discussion matters quite a bit and definitely includes consequences. This is what stops some folks cold – life comes without guarantees that everything will work out OK.
Choose wisely what you invest your energy and passion into ~ choices do matter. Still, choosing to do provides our lives with color and interest.
As Peter Pan says in the last scene of “Hook“:
Granny Wendy: So… your adventures are over.
Peter Banning: Oh, no. To live… to live would be an awfully big adventure.
Looking around for an awfully big adventure in the Heartland ….
