What details of your life could you pay more attention to?
It seems so trivial, but it’s so important: Those moments of simple levity. A treasure.
A little more whimsy. A little more “Just Because.” Why? No reason. Just because.

A little more whimsy. A little more “Just Because.” Why? No reason. Just because.

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?
Prio 1: Enjoy existence.

When you grab a snack or get another cup of coffee: do a breathing exercise as well.
Take a moment to recalibrate.
You are here. It is now.

We are collectively hurtling through space while circling a star.
We arrive with ourselves, we leave with ourselves.
Everything else is details.

Who dreams of labor but those who cannot escape it?
Why allow your mind to be chained?
Pursue a dream. A real dream, a preposterous thing.
The kind that makes the dull scream: Impossible!
Unshackle your soul from the humdrum.
Think beyond the past.
Dream true dreams.
Live.

Describe your life in an alternate universe.
Which one, though?
There are infinities upon infinities to choose from. With every choice, a new alternate splits apart, and a new universe is born.
Each choice an alternate, each alternate a choice. And in them, this life is the alternate one. The better one. Maybe the worse. Who knows?
So, better make the best of it now, one choice at a time.
