Thank you for writing it! I found myself in most of the article and Ive been thinking a lot lately how to escape this loop. Your article is of great help and I will implement what I learned from it. Again, thank you and keep writing! 🙂👍💜

It's inspiring to read it on a Monday morning before getting to work! It resonates with me deeply when you say,"If you never had the courage to live your own life, make your own values, take action, and become who you are, then your death will also be passive." I have been bothered by some issues at work. Now I just realized that it's just because I did not have the courage to make my voice heard. Take up the courage. To a life well-lived! Thank you!

This was right on track for me today. It never cease to amaze me to hear just what I needed to hear. There are days when the struggle feels so hopeless, but your words are motivating me to stay on track. I love that when we choose to stay true to our vision and not become an illusion of someone else, the work takes on an authenticity that cannot be replicated. Thank you. I needed to hear this.

So wonderful to read this, Darius. Truly inspires us to keep living our lives with purpose and intention, and not just aimlessly wandering around. Take small risks, show up every day, add value wherever and wherever you can. And just keep repeating the process.

A very timely topic. I'm currently 63 and I'm not about to go quietly into retirement.

I've recently started a new business and I'm learning a lot, and I feel alive again.

I'm also not a fan of Nietzsche, but your outtake reminded me of this saying that I used as my status on my birthday.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy shit... what a ride!"

That’s it! Love that.
