"Do It Live."

Nope this is not about that one time Bill O'Reilly decided to lose his shit, not that we all haven't been there at one point or another, don't worry bud.  

I received a text message a few days ago from one of my best friends in high-school by the name of Chris.  Chris and I haven't seen or really spoken to each other in about two years, nothing dramatic, we just drifted off into our separate lives in college.  He was on his way up to Burlington on a whim with one of his friends and told me he wanted to visit.  I can't explained how ecstatic I was to be able to catch up with him and hear about his life since we graduated.  Later, when I asked the two of them why they had decided so suddenly to come up to visit, they replied simply "Well... do it live."  

"Do it live." was their new motto.  No longer ask the question why, but rather, why not?  They finished their homework at midnight, and made the decision to drive to Burlington from Boston at 1 in the morning and were on the road six hours later.  It often pays not to plan.  Throw yourself into things.  Make a move.  Do not just sit there and wait for exciting things to happen, go after them.  Do it live, folks.  If we sit in fear of the outcomes or are held back by the voice of Doubting Thomas in our heads, we are going to miss out on life. 

So I urge you, as they did me, adopt the motto.  

Do it live.
