While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.

Genuine experience

Experience life in the real world. Don’t settle for an imitation.

Immerse yourself in experience, in person, with all your senses, with the fullness of your being. You exist in reality, so make the most of that priceless advantage.

Your mind is abundantly able to deal in complex concepts and to benefit from vicarious experiences of all kinds. Yet the whole point of doing so is to apply the learning and wisdom you gain to the reality of the world around you.

You’re much more than a mere observer of life. You are a unique, active participant in the miracle of existence.

Make your participation robust and extensive. Seize upon the best opportunities afforded by your ability to engage in genuine experience.

Go beyond just conceptualizing about what life could be. Stand up, step forward, and make it so.

— Ralph Marston
