Charlie Hoehn over at Hoehn’s Musings wrote a post that boiled down to “just do stuff”. Of course, “just do stuff”, while succinct, doesn’t really do justice to the underlying sentiment. When people stop doing stuff, in my opinion, they have stopped living and are just taking up space. The group that I rock climb with embodies the spirit of the sentiment with the catchphrase “climb to fail”. What that means is that you can’t climb to a difficult move and just quit – you have to try to get past it and fall. The strange thing is that sometimes you don’t fall. Life should be lived the same way… just do stuff and climb to fail. Trust me, here, I’m a recovering dead person.

At any rate, you can find Charlie’s excellent article over here. I suggest you give it a read.
