“I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it over to future generations.” -George Bernard Shaw
Today and every day going forward, give it everything you got. Squeeze every juice out of that lemon. No regrets. Be thoroughly used up.
You’ll sleep comfortably knowing you did just that.
And will be replenished to do it all over again the next day.
P.S. – Get after it!
One of Uta Hagen’s favorite quotes! Chapter 2: The Actor’s Goals, pg 29, A CHALLENGE FOR THE ACTOR. She includes the entire quote. Look up what Shaw says just before this.
