    When pursuing your dreams, do what you can as often as possible, or your options will be taken away one by one, and you will be increasingly forced into doing what is necessary.  As time goes on, “doing what is necessary” will serve your dreams less and less. I think it’s better to do what…

    The question is not whether I am a “good person,” or a “capable guy,” or an “awesome performer,” the question is whether or not I earn those titles every day through my actions, regardless of what temporary classification forms around me. This is a way to reduce egoic considerations of what I think I might…

    If you work with what you’ve got and you’re brutally honest with yourself (so you can accurately gauge your progress, determine if you can handle a heavier load, and adjust course when it’s necessary), then just like Mandela, you might be able to go from being a forgotten prisoner to a heralded leader.  You stand…

    I’ve heard life is about compromises, but I think that’s an oversimplification.  I’d rather phrase it as:  life is about knowing WHEN to compromise.

    If I refuse the lessons that arise from life, it will become a cruel, merciless tyrant.  It will snatch away my time, my options, my ability/inclination to help others, as well as my fulfillment. But if I do my best to learn, then life will become a harsh—but fair—teacher.  I even stand a chance of…
