Life is full of experiences, some to remember, some to forget, but all to know. Pay attention to the feeling. Pay attention to the people. Pay attention to the world. Go. Do. Live, laugh, love and learn. Challenge, fail, cry but try. Regardless of the place or space, Do something new today. Find a way to grow. Dig deep or stretch tall, either way, big or small, you can appreciate the experience, all in all.
