Forget about the old adage “You can’t take it with you when you go”
I prefer the phrase “Die Empty”
Those of you who know me, know that I intend to live forever.
That is just one reason I manage what I eat and I bust my ass in the gym.
I refuse to die.
I have too much I want to do, and too many ideas to pursue.
I will not be ready to go until I am empty.
Empty of ideas.
Empty of goals.
Empty of causes.
Empty of drive.
As far as I can see, these are all growing bigger and bigger for me, not smaller and smaller.
Every day I learn a little more.
Which spawns new ideas.
Every day I meet someone new.
Who helps me understand humankind better.
And gives me another cause to care about.
Every day I see a new problem to solve.
And I make a goal to solve it.
How about you?
Do you have more you want to do?
Are you the person you want to be?
Have you seen everything you want to see?
Don’t give up now.
Don’t give up ever.
Try to use it all up, try to die empty.
I’ll bet you find that you can’t.
I’ll wager even more that you will find that you have lived more in the process.
