What we do in life echoes in Eternity...
It was Maximus' initial battle cry in the Battle of Germania in Gladiator, and right now, it's really hitting home. How many of us have dreams, aspirations, that we don't act on? Is it truly better to play it safe than dare greatly? Call it gun shyness, (ignore the pun). As children, we're fearless. As we get our fingers burned, we learn caution...
But how often does this lead to a timid life? How often do we wish we should have done something? Tried to run with an idea, but didn't? Didn't take that chance because of the potential for failure, ridicule, whatever? I know I'm guilty of it. And right now, it's really irritating....
I realize we all have to pay the bills, take care of our responsibilities, but what the fuck is the point of living if it's just going through the motions? I, for one, no longer have a good answer. Without purpose, life can seem AWFULLY hollow.
There is something that inspires you. Whatever it is that gives you that motivation, that kick in the ass, that fire in your belly, that reason to wake up in the morning, RUN WITH IT! Life is too short for us to sit on our asses, hoping that something comes along to pick us up out of this mire. Make your own luck and build your legend. Let your name be remembered among the greats, not among the timid souls who choose to sit on the sidelines, watching life pass you by...
Do something that gives your life meaning. Do something you love. Get YOUR Gun on!
