"Never more boredom was found than in an effort to live a normal life."

This appeared in my inbox the other day. Thought I'd pass it along...

"The quest for average is not as much a goal as it is a disease of retreat. It quietly moves to a passive place where one teeters on the brink of hope and hopelessness. Its tentative posture has within it the bias of nothing good or bad ever happening, and it is a way of life practiced by many. In contrast, the quest for an amazing life brings with it a focus that clarifies your vision. It lives on the edge of something big or something bigger and it teeters back and forth between passion and purpose, progress and prosperity. There's something big in all of us and it is only our quest for normal that keeps it sleeping. Plan out something amazing today."
