The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as though he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived"
My good friend Liz shared these words this week. It was one of the most simple yet profoundly insightful things I have read in a really long time. x

Excited for a new year. Be courageous, be inspiring, be individual, be intelligent, be fresh.
"There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. But omitted, and the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries. On such a full sea we are now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves - or loose the ventures before us." William Shakespeare - Julius Caesar
