What do you live for?

"Being willing is not enough; we must do." -Leonardo da Vinci

My whole life I've been "wanted"
       Empty words filled my ears
       Fell on my heart without action.
Creating hope and disappointment
       Each one as strong as the other.

My grandmother lived out of respect,
Thus far I have lived out of love.
        Her advice to me is to live for myself.
               To seek happiness for myself first and not for others...
               and foremost and let the rest fall into place.
I'm trying to follow it, but that's hard to do when I want to give my happiness away to the detriment of myself and the betterment of others.

"Approach things with hunger and just enough fear. Plenty of confidence... Paralyzing fear does nothing, but the kind of fear [that] makes me more focused, more aware, more heightened." -Queen Latifah (Dana Owens)

It is never too late to be, to change, to do. If your desires change, so should your actions.

Do what you love, no matter how insignificant it may seem. If you find joy in it, do it.

"Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life..." -Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)
