“Many times in a good life, you’ll laugh until you cry. And many other times, you’ll cry until you laugh. In the end, laughing and crying are more like cousins than strangers. They’re how honest human beings respond to a life they allow themselves to love, and my hope is that you have plenty of tears in your life—of all kinds.”

There will come a time, when all of us are dead. All of us.
There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything.
There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you.
Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught.
Maybe that is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away , but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever.
There was time before organisms experienced consciousness and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, i encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.

Went for my first ever hot yoga class on Thursday night. In the 60mins session, i sweat more than being on production for 10 hours.
Looking forward to my next session.

“I enjoy… (the work), but I’m also doing something else, and sometimes I’m not aware of what that is.”
I hate the word ‘talent.’ People use it so freely and so often that you would think it actually carried some weight behind it. Take it from someone who is said to be ‘talented’ in many different areas: talent ain’t shit. All that really matters is intelligence.
It’s a shame really. Those born with ‘talent’ or a sharp intelligence tend to waste their lives and waste all of their potential along with it. Laziness and self-righteous entitlement plagues too many people as it is and loves to feed on those that are under the false illusion that their lives will be smooth and easy. Life is never easy for one simple reason.
When we are young we come to understand what we are capable of and plan our lives accordingly. The more talented we believe ourselves to be, the more daring our hopes and dreams. The more seemingly unlikely the dreams, the more difficult to attain. The more talented you are, the more insane your dreams are and the more difficult they will be to get a hold of.
No matter how talented you are, you will need to work hard for that which you really want. Fail to work hard, fail to put in the effort, the hours, fail to break a sweat and you will inevitably end up a failure. A talented failure is still a failure…No. Worse.
A talented failure is the worst kind of failure because you are wasting the gifts that nature gave you. Being talented comes with the responsibility to put your skills and intelligence towards bettering the human race and helping our further evolutionary progress. Being lazy doesn’t accomplish shit.
You are going to come across many different types of people in life, so you don’t have to be everyone’s friend. You will come to realize who your true friends are, supporting you through thick and thin. You will also, however, encounter a fair amount of poisonous individuals that will try to hold you back from getting what you want for their own benefit.
Cut them off and don’t let them intrude and ruin your life. You can’t make everyone happy in this world, so don’t bother trying. Don’t be so quick to lend out your trust.
