enthusiasm




“Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm. The way of life is wonderful: it is by abandonment....Follow your instinct and enthusiasm.”

- from the essay “Circles” by Ralph Waldo Emerson





Life is short. Damn short. Find out what thrills you—your passion—and throw yourself into it with mad abandon. When your days are done, please never let it be said that you have not lived.

Hello again Aby.

Yes. Words to live by, sort of an owners manual for life. Short and simple.

Aspie Queen.

Yes.

It is very hard to have passion for life without the proper sleep to recharge the batteries.
