Manifesto of Life

I found these words on a random blog post, one of those chain emails that your grandma sends you, that you end up trashing a minute later. After going through several tumblr photos and google image searches, I managed to find the original YouTube video that started it all.

It’s a T-Shirt design company called Holstee. It’s their Manifesto for living life (and advertising to attract business). While it’s not their sustainable/environmentally friendly products that attract me, this manifesto touches me somewhere deep within.

If you’re not living your life this way, why the hell not? I wish I could say I was… but I can’t… so instead I keep the record here to look back at every time I need an injection of “you’re doing the right thing”. Inspiring. Positive.

This is your life • Do what you love, and do it often • If you don’t like something, change it • If you don’t like your job, quit • If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV • If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love • Stop over analyzing, life is simple • All emotions are beautiful • When you eat, appreciate every last bite • Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences • Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them • Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself • Some opportunities only come once; seize them • Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating • Live your dream, and wear your passion • Life is short •
