We really only live once, and yet…

We are all just rabbits chasing carrots above our heads, waiting for this race to finish…and it never will until we die. We spend our lives chasing the prize at the end of the rope, and only some of us win. Most of us are struggling until we’re too old to care, and we want so badly to see the world, but never get around to it because we’re so busy…hoping to finally catch that carrot.

Yeah, I learned that lesson. If you want to enjoy life, stop chasing. Expectation is the surest path to disappointment, so it's better to let go of what you expect out of life and learn to appreciate what you actually get.

If you stick around long enough and keep moving forward, chances are you will come across opportunities for more fulfilling ventures.
