When Laziness Means Success…
People waste years trying not to waste hours. Admit it…many of us are like that… especially the type A’s.
People waste years trying not to waste hours, says author Michael Lewis.
Is being lazy a good thing? That’s what Michael Lewis said in this INC article why being lazy makes you successful. He postulated that being lazy is the key to Success. But is it for real? Lewis achieved much in life so I’d hardly say he was lazy.
However, what I’d say is that he focused on things that were in fact important, and did not spend time being busy… for busy sake.
Admit it…many of us are like that… especially the type A’s. If ever we find ourselves not doing anything we feel as guilty as ever. I have a colleague who broke her leg during a vcation trip and she found it like hell to be sitting in recovery…not being able to do the things she wanted to do.
So I encourage you the next time you find yourself being busy, it’s Prudent that you look around and ask the question, “is this adding value to my life…to my long term goals and dreams?”
If not, let it go. Refocus.
Cheers!

Just Be You…
Overthinking…
let’s stop OVER-thinking and just get it done. Whatever your ‘it’ is…just do it.
“This is probably the advantge of being stupid. Stupid people just do. We tend to overthink. If we could eliminate the “over” and just think, then we could do too. Only we’d be smarter doers because we’d be thinkers”. – Sarah Strohmeyer
The difference between a stupid person and thinkers is that they don’t think. Like an Elixir, they just do. Thinkers rationalize this, then that, then the other… often with the result of getting nothing done (and by the way, no one is stupid. Some people just act without thinking).
Today, go make a Fortune. Stop OVER-thinking and just get it done. Whatever your ‘it’ is…Just do it.
Cheers!

Conquer The Label…
the good we hold strong to promulgate to take us to even higher heights. For the bad, we need to release. If left to fester
Thoughts and chains are like Labels to be Conquered. Some are good, others bad. For the good we hold strong to promulgate to take us to even higher heights. For the bad, we need to release. For if left to fester, it will drag us into the ground forcing us away from our dreams, goals, and aspirations.
Got friends who are like festering chains? Let go of the relationship and start afresh.
Cheers!

Record it…
Living the life you have always dreamed of is not difficult. It happens with planning, effort, and the ability to go on …to never give up even when things go wrong. It happens when you do what you have always wanted to even when you’re afraid. Fear often stops us in our tracks. Fear makes us get stuck… sometimes even for years, and sadly some even pass without getting past what held them back.

Dreams, Starlings and Goals…
Life’s Nuances and Abstracts…
Sometimes life throws us curved balls. We have no choice but to catch it, run with it, and ride the waves until it passes. It’s what we do with it when it comes our way that counts.
Renowned Speaker Nick Vujicic, the limbless man, has inspired millions worldwide. He was born without arms and legs, was depressed early in life but found the strength to survive, thrive, and now uses his ‘gift’ to go on to do great things!
So when the Nuances and Abstracts of life hit us like a ton of bricks-no matter how subtly it rears its ugly head, let’s hold strong. Let us keep going because only then will we be able to get back up to achieve our dreams, goals, and aspirations.
