Hávamál, The Saying of Odin, Stanza 15

Hail and welcome! This is Huginn's Heathen Hof, with your Daily Hávamál.
Original-
Þagalt ok hugalt
skyli þjóðans barn
ok vígdjarft vera
glaðr ok reifr
skyli gumna hverr
unz sínn bíðr bana
Translation-
A leader should be silent,
thoughtful, and bold in battle.
Every man should be both
Cheerful and Generous
until his death finds him
-Hávamál: Stanza 15
This stanza shifts us from "advice about life", to "advice about how to live". Throughout the Lore there are countless reminders to embrace life rather than fear death. Plan ahead, prepare yourself for whatever may come, but never forget to enjoy the moment. It's the difference between merely surviving, and actually Living.
