"Let’s stop being tired all the time. Let’s limit the hours we spend on our computer. Let’s start being friendly in public and stop hiding behind our phones. Let’s stop morphing into a generation that has lost its ability to focus. Let’s stop sleeping so late. Let’s stop guzzling down all this sugar. Let’s stop punishing our body with caffeine for not performing efficiently the next morning because we exhaust it the night before. Let’s fill our days so we’re actually tired at night. Let’s get 15 minutes of Vitamin D everyday. Let’s not just look good in our clothes, let’s look good naked. Let’s have more friends than online accounts. Love your life. Love your body. Sweat. Stretch. Stand up straight."

Henry Miller’s Eleven Commandments
"Love should be sacred. It should be uttered in a soft breath, on misty mornings, in secret hideaways. Love does not exist without reciprocation, hugging that person and feeling the meeting of two minds, two hearts, two souls, two bodies."

Jodie Foster - Esquire, December 1982 (via fuckyeahjodiefoster)

"You couldn’t pay me to be in my twenties again. I didn’t know that I was ever going to be successful. I didn’t know if I would be able to ever afford a place to live. I didn’t know if I would take care of my family. These seem like dumb questions when you’re forty-five. But when you’re twenty-three, all these are just a bunch of question marks ahead of you. I can’t live with that anxiety."

ON CAREERS Not one person in a thousand said that happiness accrued from working as hard as you can to make money to buy whatever you want. Rather, the near-universal view was summed up by an 83-year-old former athlete who worked for decades as an athletic coach and recruiter: “The most important thing is to be involved in a profession that you absolutely love, and that you look forward to going to work to every day.”

Although it can take a while to land that ideal job, you should not give up looking for one that makes you happy. Meanwhile, if you’re stuck in a bad job, try to make the most of it until you can move on. And keep in mind that a promotion may be flattering and lucrative but not worth it if it takes you away from what you most enjoy doing.
