I love this quote. It really reaches down into the depths of your soul and makes you think. “What do I love? What am I going after?” I am still struggling with this question. I know what I love, but do I really know?

We are often raised to know what, and who our parents love. We never really had an opinion because what they knew was all we knew. There is a song lyric from the song Save Rock “N” Roll by the band Fallout Boy that I love; “You are what you love, not who loves you.”. I thought extra hard on the question “What do I love?”

More on the topic “What do I love that I will pursue and never give up?”. My answer, is I don’t know. I love my family. I love writing. What I don’t know is what I will scratch and scrape to achieve. I honestly don’t know.

This ties into my point stated above. I am afraid of failing when things that matter. Most of all I am afraid of failing myself. It seems like everything I do I just can’t get it right. I am very afraid at succeeding in something that doesn’t matter. When I think about it, it just means that I took time out of what does matter to get something that is essentially meaningless.

In the end of this book Bob asked the question, “What will you do now?”. I put the book down and thought some more. “What will you do now?”, it is a startling question. After all of the chapters in this book my life seems very ordinary, bland even. I don’t know what to think really.

Bob Goff has done so much in his life it is all very overwhelming. I want to do a little bit of everything that Bob has done. He is such an inspiration. Bob has been many things in his life, and for a person who isn’t fully sure what she wants to be Bob makes it feel acceptable if you are not just one thing.

This quote inspires me to take more risks in my life. Like I said above my life has been pretty ordinary. I want to travel the world and see the sights. Even if I just take a road trip to another town, or another country I don’t want to live predictable. I don’t want my life to be planned out and written in stone. I think that is why I can’t answer Bob’s question. There are too many things that I want to do in my life, and I can’t wait for them to be all planned out.

Overall this book is very inspiring. All my life I have grown up thinking that I can be only one thing, but now I know I can be many things, and I can live many adventures. The only thing that I need to know is love does.
