Go now and live
Nothing to do with prepping I just like it, it's inspirational Smile


Experience, dream, risk,close your eyes and jump.Enjoy the free fall. choose exhilaration over comfort.Choose magic over predictability .Choose potential over safety.wake up to the magic of everyday life. Make friends with your intuition.Trust your gut. Discover the beauty of uncertainty. Know yourself fully before you make promises to another.Make millions of mistakes so that you will know how to choose what you really need.Know when to hold on and when to let go.Love hard and often and without reservation . Seek knowledge. Open yourself to possibility.Keep your heart open, your head high, and your spirit free.Embrace your darkness as well as your light.Be wrong every once in a while and don't be afraid to admit it.Awaken to the brilliance in ordinary moments.Tell the truth about yourself no matter the cost.Own your reality without apology.See goodness in the world.Be Bold. Be fierce.Be grateful. Be wild, crazy and gloriously free.Be you.

Jeanette Leblanc.

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

RE: Go now and live


I'm rather partial to "If" By Kipling myself. It always makes me feel better.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Sailing away, not close to the wind.Heart

RE: Go now and live
I was asked a question by my dad:

You've got a year to live, what things do you want to do?

After I answered, he said That obviously I have more than a year to live, but that I should plan to do those things and do them.
He asked me that a couple of weeks before he told me he has cancer.

You've got to finish what she said "Go forth and multiply the logs." I think she just meant get chopping some wood. I get told a similar thing, but it's abbreviated to "GO!" or they expand it to "GO AWAY!"
