Tattoo

Hello,

I'm getting a tattoo next week, with the text; Live the way you think it ought to be.
I would like to know if this sentence is completely correct.

Hi anonymous, It's OK, but you use the pronoun "it" without saying what "it" is. I guess you mean: Live life the way [you think] it ought to be [lived]. The bits in brackets are optional.

It is a bit cliche, but I can save you some money (and pain). Emotion: smile

Be the change you want to see.
