7 Quotes by Jack London That Will Help You Live an Extraordinary Life
A new lust for living is yours for the taking.
There are two types of people in this world–those who live and those who exist.
Those who live life to the fullest don’t submit to a system designed to make them conform. They live by values of their choosing and not those imposed on them by society or institutions. They see the world as a place of unlimited opportunity and aren’t afraid to take big risks to get what they want from life.
Those who survive in life submit to a system and go along to get along. They focus on how difficult life is and how hard it is to “get ahead.” They try not to draw too much attention to themselves and often put aside their dreams in favor of safety and practicality.
It might sound oversimplified to say everyone falls into one of these two categories. And while you probably have a little of both in you, one type will be more dominant than the other.
It’s difficult not to fall into the trap of survival when you have bills to pay, a job to hold down, and family depending on you. You start with grand dreams but pretty soon you’re going through the daily grind and trying to survive. Then something–or someone–snaps you out of it.
