Living on the Edge

A favorite quote, reposted here mainly to make me feel better today.

“If you aren’t living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space. It has nothing to do with thrill-seeking. It’s about making the most of every moment, about stretching your own boundaries, about being willing to learn constantly and putting yourself in situations where learning is possible – sometimes even critical to your survival. Being out on the edge, with everything at risk, is where you learn – and grow – the most.”
