Emerson & Elizabethtown

The respect of great people is important to me. I believe that great people should keep the company of other great people. And we should never settle for what we perceive as less than greatness. I’m continuously trying to incorporate that mantra into my life. In a world abundant with average, it’s easy to settle. Striving for greatness can be exhausting, but it is well worth the time, energy & patience.

This thought process reminded me of one of my fav quotes:

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” - Emerson

A great quote from the new Elizabethtown promo: “If life’s a journey, it’s the detours that really count.” With Cameron Crowe directing, I’ve got high hopes for this one! In Theaters October 14 :-)
