Live Large!
I love the manifesto of Live Large. The goal of this group of amazing people is to improve lives by addressing social isolation, the virtualization of friendship, and the epidemic of division in society. The core principles of Live Large state that:
Experiences are better than things, especially in the outdoors. We travel light, collecting friends and memories along the way. To look back on life with satisfaction is to live twice. These are the good things: travel, work, service, hobbies, relaxation, fitness, food, drink, friends, and financial freedom. Make a great story.
Looking back on life with satisfaction requires us to remember the things we do. That means making real memories by doing things deliberately and being intentional about cultivating experiences with others. Most of our life is forgettable day-to-day existence.
Those who choose to live large become collectors of fantastic friends and meaningful memories. Set personal goals and stick to them. Develop a weird hobby. Be interesting. Buy yourself some freedom with work that you love. Make your life a great story.
