I would love to believe that when I die I will live again. That some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But mush as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking. The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there’s little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability is to look death in the eye. And to be grateful everyday. For the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.

I’ve been told that people in the army do more by 7:00 am than I do in an entire day.

But if I wake at 6:59 am and turn to you to trace the outline of your lips with mine, I will have done enough and killed no one in the process.

The point of the story is this: you’re going to be rejected a lot if you have lofty goals you want to achieve, but often times that rejection will have nothing to do with you. Many of us take a single rejection as an opportunity to focus on what we can change and how we can improve, but what good is change if we have no concrete reason for it? When you don’t know why you were rejected, don’t bother to speculate. Let it go, and continue being yourself. Who else are you going to be, anyway?

“Use What Talents You Have”

…”The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.” This quote from poet Henry Van Dyke reminds us not to waste our talents or get discouraged if others are more accomplished or talented.

Have you ever stopped yourself from doing something (making an app, writing a blog, setting up a business, etc.) because that specific thing has already been done by someone else successfully? Consider this: if everyone was deterred that way, the world would be a lot blander than it is now.

Use your talents, whatever they may be. Your work doesn’t have to be better than everyone else’s; it just needs to be yours.
