Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

“The saddest thing in life is wasted talent” is a quote that I live my life by and think about often. It’s even tattooed on my body.

The first time that I ever heard this quote was from the movie called A Bronx Tale and it just kind of stuck with me for some reason.

I think about this often because it has a powerful message to it and I have seen people waste good talent.

I don’t want to be like these people.

I don’t want my life to be wasted away and I never get to reach my full potential.

Sometimes I worry that I’ll never make it to that point and that it might possibly be too late for me.

I got this quote as a tattoo when I was in my twenties because I liked it and thought I was being different.

I had no idea that it would actually mean something to me later on in life and now I use it as a reminder for myself –

A reminder that I may not be in a comfortable place in life where I want to be, and I have a lot things that I must do before we can cross that benchmark. It’s going to take some time, patience, and dedication on using my talents and the worst thing that I could do is nothing.

But I’m alive and healthy and so are my children, so I must be doing something right.
