Dylan's exhortation was to fulfill one's passions. He apparently did  
not foresee that one might run out of passions. Seems to me the issue  
is of energy and habit formed by long purposeful activity.

I have always had more interests, more passions, than I have time to  
fulfill. My intention is to continue living as long as I am enjoying  
life by pursuing those passions. I expect to run out of time before I  
run out of passions. I expect that as physical strength wanes I will  
change activity focus. My last days may well be a return to writing  
what might be useful to others.
