What Will You Do With Yours?

What Will You Do With Yours?

I just liked this passage that I came across.

It’s hard to explain it.

The word “wild” coupled with “precious” captures something all the other cliches seem to miss.

  • “You only live once.”
  • “Make memories.”
  • “Life is so short and special.”
  • Etc…

It makes you want to get up, and live.

As poet Mary Oliver wrote: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do / with your one wild and precious life?

–Greg McKeown, Essentialism
