"You don't have to find out you're dying to start living."

The title quote is from 17 year old Zach Sobiech who died well yesterday.

At 14, Zach was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a very rare bone cancer.  It reached a point that after the cancer returned and spread to his lungs, he decided that he'd rather live a full, but short life instead of fight the inevitable and spend his last few months in hospitals and unable to enjoy life.

And that's exactly what he did.  Watch his story here. I hope it always serves as a reminder that life truly is short and to fully embrace every single day.  Hug those around you.  Tell your family and friends you love them.  Let go of the petty things and enjoy life.  Take some risks.  Try something new.  Don't run from your life, embrace it, embrace every single gem and wart.  It's yours and you only have one.  Love it.

Because regardless of if you ever gain YouTube notoriety or not, you'll know.  Make sure you don't wait to start living.
