""You are as old as the risks you take...Aging is not the process of growing old, but rather the slow death of becoming overly protective, scared... Youth is found in the energy of going for it, taking the risk, & trusting that you'll figure it out along the way." @JamesClear
Experiencing very bad service from Puma - no comms - not email, nor on their support line, which is always busy but you're always "number1 in the queue" - Please contact me @PUMA, I love your brand, but not if this is the customer service. (Return Order, R27000560)

If you already live a comfortable life, then choosing to make more money but live a worse daily life is a bad trade.
And yet, we talk ourselves into it all the time. We take promotions that pay more, but swallow our free time. We already have a successful business, but we break ourselves trying to make it even more successful.
Too much focus on wealth, not enough focus on lifestyle.

"If you feel resistance before you begin, it's usually procrastination and you need to get started.
If you feel resistance after you begin, it's usually feedback and you need to make adjustments."

When I go into a situation, I try to keep a mindset of baseline optimism.
-When starting the day: It's going to be a good day.
-When meeting someone new: I'm going to like them.
-When trying something challenging: It's going to work
out.
Problems will inevitably arise and I'll deal with them as the situation demands, but my preference is to assume I'm on a winning path until proven otherwise.
The gift of a beginner is fresh eyes.
The longer you're in a field, the harder it is to perceive new truths. Your mind is biased toward refining what you're already doing instead of exploring fresh terrain.
Take your expertise and apply it to something new.
Kurt Vonnegut's 8 rules for writing:
1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.
5. Start as close to the end as possible.
6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them-in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
