You can't change where you started, but you can change the direction you are going. It's not what you are going to do, but it's what you are doing now that counts.

I refuse to make uninspired music.
If you're gonna live, then live it up. If you're gonna give, then give it up. If you're gonna walk the Earth, then walk it proud. If you're gonna say the word, you got to say it loud.
The world awakens on the run And will soon be earning With hopes of better days to come It's a morning yearning.
My choice is what I choose to be.
If you're gonna live, then live it up.

When we were kids, we would never open the minibar. A $6 Snickers bar? But the other day I was in a hotel and I was staring at a Snickers bar, and I finally just ate it.
