Realize that sleeping on a futon when you’re in your 30s is not the worst thing. You know what’s worse, sleeping in a king bed next to a wife you’re not really in love with but for some reason you married, and you got a couple kids, and you got a job you hate. You’ll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There’s no risk when you go after a dream. There’s a tremendous amount of risk to playing it safe.

Buy the ticket, take the ride.
Hunter S. Thompson
I like to remind myself of this powerrful quote every time I’m questioning wether I should go out (partying/ on an adventure/ hanging out with friends) or not.
But what makes this quote so powerful is that it comes from the legenday Hunter S. Thompson. Meaning: If you don’t get goosebumps reading this, you should probably go and read one (or preferably many more) books by Thompson!

When doubt steps in, you got two roads, you can take either road. You can go to the left or you can go to the right and believe me, they’ll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous.
Failure is always an option.
Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but it is a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed.

Don’t worry if your part is the right one or the wrong one. Every part can lead to a happy life as this caroon from zenpencils perfectly describes by illustrating Robert Frosts poem:
All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it’s impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively. Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Developt the strenght to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.
Niccolo Michiavelli
Making no mistakes is such a stupid goal I can’t find words to express it.
You want to make mistakes, you want to learn, to grow!
Have the confidence to do so and you will enjoy the ride.

Act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done by hesitation.
Thomas Henry Huxley
Don’t hestitate in fear.
Don’t let shock fool you.
Decide boldly and act accordingly, the rest will work out!
