Never let your goals or convictions get in the way of living your life. It's not about who dies with more, it's about who lived the most.

About This Quote

Never let your goals or convictions get in the way of living your life. It's not about who dies with more, it's about who lived the most. When you set out to pursue a goal in life, don't let anything get in the way of that goal. Don't let people criticize you or tell you that you can't do something.

Don't let anyone try to make you think otherwise. Don't let anyone shame you for trying something new, even if they are right about its potential dangers. You are free to pursue your dreams without the fear of what others say or think.

If they are doing it, too, then go ahead and do it! When you don't allow others to dictate what you do with your life, then you are truly living life on your terms, no matter what other people think or say.
