A life less ordinary

We ought not to listen to those who counsel us to think as mere mortal men should think, and to remember our mortality. Rather we ought to strive towards attaining something great, and leave nothing unattempted in the effort to live conformably, with the highest thing in us.

Aristotle

And on days like these that dawn bright and clear and fresh and my first thought is not one of dread: I believe this quote. I believe that I can achieve something great with my day; that I can unlock some of the powers we each hold within ourselves; that I can live a life less ordinary.
