Success quotes are timeless because they capture the essence of a thought, feeling or action in just a few brief, but powerful words. Take this quote by Muriel Rukeyser, for example:
The world is made of stories, not of atoms.” ~ Muriel Rukeyser
I look at this quote in different ways.
Life is not just about science, specifics and facts. It includes the whole retinue of human senses and abilities. Sure, we can peer down an electron microscope, or up into the heavens and try to explain, scientifically, what we see.
But, we can also gaze at our child, feel the abundant, irrational love for him or her, and realize we’re speechless to describe it.
Not everything breaks down into a neat formula, explanation or law. Somethings defy that.
Also, this quote can be about FUN.
To me, life is about the story. It’s all about the level of enjoyment, fun, adventure or risks involved in whatever your endeavor. When I’m 80, I don’t think I’ll share with my children all the times I was responsible and took the beaten path. It would bore them, and me, to tears.
No!
I’ll share with them when I went skydiving (HALO) at three o’clock in the morning, over the desert. I’ll share when I climbed a glacier in New Zealand, ran the Ironman triathlon in Hawaii. Or when I met their mother and the irrationality of love.
To me, life is about creating excitement, adventure, it’s about living with Passion.
It’s about living like you won’t get a second chance. Because, as far as we know, you won’t. What does this quote mean to you?
