3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
“Each day, spend some time on two things:
- working toward something that will pay off years from now
- appreciating something that is happening right now”
II.
“Do not fear what you can address. What should worry you is not the problem, but if you are resisting addressing it.”
III.
“Many of the best things in life are endless.
Being in a great relationship. Staying fit and healthy. Doing work that fulfills you. Being a good parent, coach, or teacher.
Stop worrying about accomplishing these things and instead focus on building a life where you continually practice them.
The important stuff has no finish line.”
