The older you get, the faster time passes in your mind, so use your time according to what is most important.

This day, you are free, because you have chosen to be free – and because of your choice, your days of insignificance are over.

Like waking up in our home one night to find ourselves in a blazing fire, we must be arsonists of emotion, forcing ourselves to grab only what is truly important to us before our life-rafters collapse in on us and we can no longer escape alive.

Change isn't always comfortable, but it always teaches us something of utmost importance – usually about ourselves – and we become better people for it.
