live passionately

Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor (1892 – 1964)

The journey is the reward.

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

I love to take photos. I spent the day just walking around stopping at everything I thought would be a good picture and snap. To me that’s living passionately.

I don’t know how to begin this goal. I forget to take it all in and once I start to think about it, I seem to think I’ve taken it all for granted.

I’m very determined and stubborn. There’s a desire in me that makes me want to do more and more, and to do it right. Each one of us has a fire in our heart for something. It’s our goal in life to find it and to keep it lit.

How can I become that person that finds passion in all the small things life has to offer? I want to eat my lunch and really taste the flavors, I want to sit on my sofa and enjoy the moment of loneness, I want to feel passionately about all things.

What our age lacks is not reflection, but passion.

Soren Kierkegaard
1813-1855, Danish Philosopher, Writer

Let us live for the beauty of our own reality. – Tim Robbins, 1958-, American Actor, Director, Screenwriter, Producer, Writer

Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.

Henri Frederic Amiel
1821-1881, Swiss Philosopher, Poet, Critic
