What you keep alive is what you truly care about, no matter how many times you die in the process.

About This Quote

We are all given the gift of life. We only get one shot at it. What we do with that shot determines if we are remembered in history. If we waste it, then the question is what have we done with this gift that was given to us? It is easy to think that something is more important than everything else in the world.

The problem is that it is easy to forget that everything matters and matters a great deal. If we can remember that, then we can accept that sometimes the things we love will be taken away from us. If someone takes them away, then we must go back to our core and redefine what matters.

What we keep alive is what we truly care about, no matter how many times we die in the process.
