“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived—this is to have succeeded.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (via infinitives)
So I’m feeling really inspired to travel the world currently. I feel like it would be awesome to plan my travels so that I can go a whole year without dealing with winter! I’m sure I’d miss the sight of snowfall towards the end, but that plan is sounding pretty good right about now. What I’m not feeling inspired to do is all the reading I need to complete/analyze for tomorrow. Good thing I procrastinated yet again! Hey, at least I made it to the gym again today :)
