I would rather have 30 minutes of "wonderful" than a lifetime of nothing special.

About This Quote

If you asked someone what their favorite thing in life is, they might tell you that it’s getting to spend time with their family, or seeing the sunrise on a beautiful day. These are special things that are part of our lives but are not the most important things in the world. Neither of those are more special than 30 minutes of being totally immersed in something that makes us feel "wonderful."
