Life doesn't have to be mundane. Take a new perspective and some inspiration.

The problem is people are closed minded. I want to expand minds. I want people to eventually ask me “What do you do?” and I can say “expand and open minds.”

Sometimes it's good to read a book twice so you can see how your perspective and judgment has changed.

If I can't open other people's minds, I'd like to open my own. Actually, I want to do that anyway.

The best way (to me) is travel. I love to travel. Every car ride can be a journey. Every walk can be beautiful. Every day can be enlightening. You need to break the boundaries. Climb out of the hole that is conformity. Loosen your tie. Hell, take it off if you want to. I want to hear as many people's stories as I can. Not their life story, a story from their life. Tell me your favorite book. Tell me why. Recommend something to me. Entice me. Draw me a picture. Write me a letter. Read me a poem. Show me a scar. Do something crazy. Destroy something beautiful. Love something meaningless. Invent something. Make a difference. Be your own hero.

Life doesn't suck, life is magical. Beautiful. Life is the ultimate experience. You get one life, make it everything you want it to be. You get one mind, one brain, one three-pound universe. Expand it.
