realist? idealist? OPTIMIST!!

...I LOVE CHRIS!!

"In the Rock-Paper-Scissors game of life, every day we have 

endless choices. Door A or B, blue or red pill, etc. Here are a few 

suggestions:

 

1. Hope beats fear

2. Abundance beats scarcity

3. Yes beats no

 

A few years ago, I started saying yes to things. It wasn't a 

gimmick like the movie, and I didn't say yes to everything - 

but I went from looking for reasons to say no and started looking 

for ways to say yes.

• Round-the-World trip while I'm still in school? OK.
• Climb Table Mountain in South Africa when I'm supposed 
  
  to be working? Alright.
  
• Go running in the middle of the night in Sri Lanka? Sure.

Conventional living is all about being balanced, well-rounded, 

risk-adverse, and safe. The problem is that well-rounded people 

rarely do anything interesting. Balanced people don't usually 

change the world.

 

The alternative is to truly live, and come back tired - even if you're 

not traveling. Be better than you have been before. Give more than 

you take. Embrace the extremes. Say yes."

...SAYYYYY YESS!!

"Final Thoughts:

 That thing you're working on today - will it matter one year from 

now? If so, great. Keep doing that. If not, why are you doing it?"

thank youuuuu CHRIS!
