18 Lessons I Live By

 It is one’s ability to change (Albert Einstein).

Change causes discomfort. Discomfort produces growth. Growth encourages learning. Learning brings happiness. 

 Take a big risk. Then write about it. 

If you are unable to take risks, then interview someone who does take risks. 

Avoid being aimless and mindless. If you can’t come up with a positive reason for why you’re doing something, don’t do it.

Saving money is good, but why restrict your living when you can creatively figure out a way to make more income? Create another income stream before trying to save. 

You need to inhale in order to exhale, and you need to do both to live.

If you don’t read, your writing will suffer. Read too much without writing, and you'll hurt. You need to do both. 

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster… treat those two impostors just the same (from Rudyard Kipling’s “If”).

Success and failure are both the just fuel of life. You are far more than what you do.
