One of my buddies
wants to be a chef.
She’s been talking about this for years
and hasn’t done anything about it.
Every day,
she watches food networks and cooking shows,
spending hours
watching others do what she dreams of doing.
If she had spent the same hours
doing rather than watching,
she’d be living her dream right now.
Srinivas Rao,
author of The Skool of Life,

“As you stand on the shore suiting up,
you can watch other surfers
catch wave after wave,
in anticipation of the perfect ride.
But you’re not going to catch any waves
unless you’re in the water.
The more waves you go for,
the more you’ll catch.
The game of life is quite similar.
It’s exciting to watch people start companies,
push their limits,
and experience new things.
But living vicariously through other people
just means you’ll be standing on the shore
watching others catch waves
your entire life.”
Get off the shore
and into the d*mn water.
We’re supposed to LIVE life,
not watch it on TV.
