Words to live by

If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.

- Frank Zappa

I know that if I listen to other people about how I should live my life, I'll only have myself to blame. When I know what I want, I go out into the world with my blinders on and don't let anything or anyone distract me. Sometimes people react poorly when you don't do what they want, but over time they will respect you for recognizing what makes you happy in life.

Figure out who you are and do it on purpose.

-Dolly Parton

To me this means that I have to ability to decide what I want to be known for and what I don't want to be known for and I choose to behave in a way that's in line with those principals.

and simply

Live your life on purpose. 

Don't let things happen to you. Don't let a perfectly good day pass you by because you were too distracted by the interenet or things you can't control. Time is not found or made, time is a finite resource that can only be allocated based on prorities. What are yours?
