The Purpose of Life

My favorite quote is "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." ~ James Dean. The part about dreaming as if you'll live forever represents the younger version of me. Being naive, I believed everything was possible and nothing could hold me back. I had no regrets and no doubts. The world was just a magical place to me. Now, reality has sunken in and life can be disappointing at times. However, dreams give us a purpose to stay motivated. Why not try to achieve the impossible? The worst thing I could do would be to watch my dreams slip away. Live as if you'll die today reminds me to never take my life for granted. Many people don't appreciate what they have until they've lost it. We should be going out into the world, doing the things we have delayed, saying the things we haven't said, and experiencing life to the fullest. Every second counts so make the most of it.
