My one small hope for you today is this: don’t let life happen to you. What I mean by that is, don’t just exist in the space you occupy – I hope you really, truly live.
When you wake up, I hope you are grateful for a fresh start. I hope you notice your breath go in and out, and I hope you feel lucky to be alive.
And then I hope you step outside and notice the way saying hello to a stranger can make a smile reach their eyes. I hope that you actively choose, in every passing moment, to reach for what ignites a fire inside of you. If it is a dream: pursue it relentlessly. If it is a love: make sure they know you care.
Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are –
I hope you do it with all your heart.
