Some bad advice

Take the simple road. Ignore all of those extra paths and stick to the way that is well paved and straight. When something comes along that seems shiny and interesting, look away, it's probably nothing anyways. There is no point in wasting your energy when good things don't really happen to good people. Your best bet is to just close your eyes and meander through life. If you were meant to be successful, you will be. If it doesn't work out, at least you never gave any effort. Don't feel bad if you get to the end of your life and find it empty, free of interest and excitement. That's the price you pay. But isn't it worth it?

I've been living exactly this way for more years than I care to remember, and you know what, it's not worth it.

Sometimes you just have to be brave and choose to walk down one of those extra paths, or reach out and touch a shiny interesting thing you see along the way.

One courageous act can make all the difference to a half-lived life.
