To Live or Not to Live

Hesitation. Freedom. Experience.

What does it mean to actually live?

If you hesitate about whether you should do something or not, just do it. Life is meant to be lived, experienced, not overthought. That is where freedom is.

Just imagine: you are 80 years old. What kind of life do you want to remember? The one where you spent your life thinking, hesitating, avoiding action? Or the one where you actually took risks, acted on your impulses, failed and succeeded a thousand times, and truly lived?

Which one feels more exciting, more fulfilling? Where is the freedom?

Isn’t it ridiculous to imagine, in your 80s, that somebody’s opinion prevented you from doing what you wanted to do in your 30s? Or that you thought you were not good enough? Or you wouldn’t manage?

Isn’t it way more satisfying to be a fool who tried and had fun? Who was bold, had the courage to live and actually experienced himself?
