You Need to Live Your Life at 273%

There are only two options; pick both.

“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” — Benjamin Franklin

Okay, maybe you’re not a writer. Maybe you illustrate the packing for industrial solvents. The same rule applies. Either illustrate the packing for an industrial solvent worth seeing, or do something worth illustrating.

The point is: put every inch of your being into every moment of your life. Live at 273%. Live loudly, boldly, authentically. Exist as though there’s a camera crew trailing you. Imagine that Satan or Thor or whoever meets you in the afterworld is going to rate your lifetime out of ten, like an existential IMDB. Put effort into living. Don’t just be alive — be a live wire. Let your energy pulse into this planet.

So. Either create something worth having. Or live a life worth living.

Wait, no, actually: do both.
