How To Create A Life That Loves You

ByMatthew

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back. – Arthur Rubinstein

But you must go first.

An amazing life will not come find you.

It won’t yank you off the couch and give you the interest, skills and energy to do great, fun, amazing, important things.

It will meet you while you’re busy, when you’re having fun, when you’re really alive.

It will catch you in the middle of doing stuff that matters.

It love you once you love you and what you’re doing.
