What do these two quotes mean?

Question

"We're all standing on the edge of a cliff, all the time, every day, a cliff we're all going over. Our choice isn't about that. Our choice is about whether we want to go kicking and screaming or whether we might want to open our eyes and our hearts to what happens once we start to fall."

"People talk a lot as if the most important thing in life is to always see things for what they really are. But everything we do, every plan we make, is kind of a lie. We're closing our eyes and pretending that the day won't ever come when we won't need to make any more plans. Hope is the biggest lie there is, and it is the best. We have to keep going as if it all mattered, or else we wouldn't keep going at all."

Answer 1

1) Life is about what you make it daily. You can choose to let one moment take over your life or fight through that moment and win in life daily.

2) Take life by the horns and make everyday worthwhile. Love yourself, don't worry about the small thing. Consult others but know when to follow your heart.
