Inspire

A few things that inspire me.

Generally

Good rain knows the best time to fall - squid game, Chinese proverb

You can trap bees on the bottom of mason jars without lids, because they walk around bumping into the glass bitterly, and all they have to do is look up.

Graveyards are full of indispensable people.

Don't sell your soul to buy peanuts for the monkeys. - Dorothy Salisbury Davis

Live A Big Life

The secret of realizing the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships out into uncharted seas! Live in conflict with your equals and with yourselves! Be robbers and ravagers as soon as you can not be rulers and owners, you men of knowledge! The time will soon past when you could be content to live concealed in the woods like timid deer! - Friedrich Nietzsche

Have Fun

“There's no way to win at life. It might feel like you're winning if you have millions of dollars and are beloved by your peers or have lots of beautiful babies or whatever. By all means, do those things if you want! But you're still a hunk of meat and everything you want is programmed into you by the ruthless logic of evolution. In the long-run, entropy eats the universe and we’re all forgotten. I'm always surprised how few people dedicate their lives to weirder things. Why not buy a big chunk of desert and paint it green? Why not study how to brew tea that raccoons would like? It’s up to you and there are no wrong answers.” — Dynomight

Pay Attention

The natural tendency of attention, when left to itself, is to wander to every new things; and so soon as the interest of its object is over, so soon as nothing new is to be, noticed there, it passes, in spite of our will, to something else. If you wish to keep it up upon one in the same object, you seek constantly to find out something new about the latter, especially if other powerful impressions are attracting us away. -- Hermann von Helmholtz physicist and physician.
