Life is a terminable condition.

I stumbled on this quote recently...

Life is a terminable condition. We're all going to die. But how many of us will truly live, and live for ourselves first and foremost? Not for your spouse, not for your parent, not for your career, not for your illness. Live for you. That's the golden ticket.

Kris Carr is a cancer survivor turned wellness activist. And, while this quote is about her emotional journey, the part about not living for your illness spoke to me.
