"Do not try to imitate the old masters. Seek what they sought." - Basho
This is one of my favorite quotes. It reminds me that the old masters didn't become masters by imitating others. They studied under those who came before them but they strove to improve on what they'd been taught. They strove to live their own extraordinary life.
While people can inspire you and they can help guide you, they can't live life for you. And if you try to live their life, you'll miss living yours.
"Strike the Match. Take Action, Be Extraordinary."
