inspirational enjoy-life needs
To enjoy life, you don't need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren't as serious as you make them out to be.
people track done
Everything that works in sales has been done already. Just keep track of the crap that you buy, or the awesome stuff that you buy, and decide what was the trigger, and then just sell to people like you. It's really that easy - and that's what I do.
inspirational dream jobs
For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. "Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it "eventually," just do it and correct course along the way.

The decent method you follow is better than the perfect method you quit.

I discourage passive skepticism, which is the armchair variety where people sit back and criticize without ever subjecting their theories or themselves to real field testing.

For uncommon solutions, you have to look in uncommon places.

The opposite of love is indifference, and the opposite of happiness is boredom.
mistake ambition two
There are two types of mistakes: mistakes of ambition and mistakes of sloth.
inspirational steps made
Many a false step was made by standing still.
fun different
Different is better when it is more effective or more fun.
inspirational life motivational
Life is too short to be small.
running home fishing
The fishing is best where the fewest go and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone is aiming for base hits.
inspirational endurance capacity
Alternating periods of activity and rest is necessary to survive, let alone thrive. Capacity, interest, and mental endurance all wax and wane. Plan accordingly.
