A collection of musings aimed at improving myself and anyone else.

Dreams are fun when they are distant. The imagination loves to play with possibilities when there is no risk of failure.

But when you find yourself on the verge of action, you pause. You can feel the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Thoughts swirl. Maybe this isn't the right time? Failure is possible now.

In that moment—in that short pause that arises when you stand face to face with your dream—is the entirety of life. What you do in that pause is the crucible that forges you. It is the dividing line between being the type of person who thinks about it or the type of person who goes for it.

When I really think about it, I want that moment to be my legacy. Not that I won or lost. Not that I looked good or looked like a fool. But that when I had something I really wanted to do, I went for it.

I’m not saying going for a walk will solve all your problems, I’m just saying there’s almost no problem that’s going to be made worse by going for a walk.

Rid yourself of the desire to find shortcuts.

Churchill said another way to spell “perfectionism” is P-A-R-A-L-Y-S-I-S.

It’s good to have high standards but all virtues become vices if taken too far.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

A big reason people never change is because they never get absolutely fed up with the current version of themselves. Not uncomfortable enough to change, just comfortable enough to stay the same.

The deep human connection we all need is hard to come by these days. Be grateful for the deep relationships you do have. And if you don’t have any, by all means, get off X and call someone.
