From My Brown Eyes

Dream as if you’ll live forever; live as if you’ll die today.

James Dean. 

This tweet came across my timeline on Twitter, and it struck a chord. I could not think of a better mantra to live by. Well, maybe one: Carpe Diem :). 

Regardless, I believe it is important to keep phrases like this in mind. Especially in these times of economic distress. Dreams are the backbone of this nation- the American Dream ring any bells? Now ask yourself (I am definitely asking myself): are you living your life or just living?  

-Live with your eyes open, S.
