Write every blog...
You know what quote I hate and think is used entirely too much? Of course you don't, but I will explain:
"Live every day like it was your last."
People use this quote as a kind of bleeding heart encouragement to follow your dreams and not sit around either doing nothing or waiting for things to happen. Okay great sentiment, but if I thought I was going to die tomorrow, I'm not going to sit down and start writing the novel I've been putting off for the last year. I'm going to spend the day with my family, praying, crying, saying goodbye.
I get the point they're trying to get across, but there's gotta be a more appropriate quote for it. Perhaps Nike's old mantra works better. JUST DO IT. I guess it's not as poignant and dreamy, but it's a better kick in the ass I think. Besides if you need to invoke the thought of death in order to motivate yourself, well maybe you should just MAKE this day your last.
