Your goal isn’t the elimination of pain, but rather the acceptance that not every day will be as wonderful as you were hoping.  

Just a few days on the stream helped me to recognize that no matter how hard I try, the water keeps moving. Instead of controlling the fish, I should learn to watch the flow.

The easiest way for you to stay tuned in is to simply notice what you’re noticing.

Make big goals. Dream big visions. Achieve big things.

Looking forward, I’d like to be intentional about a handful or key items.

I used to believe that with enough planning it was possible to eliminate the uncertainty of the gray areas in life.

Outdoing everyone else in the big 3 (acquisition, recognition, and compensation) is a fool’s errand.

Wanting for nothing, we are stuck in a cycle of chasing everything. So we work and work and work. As a result, our stress grows and grows and grows.

The craving we feel for the next “hit” of stimulation isn’t all that different from an alcoholic longing for their next drink.

Planning to improve the odds of success is a wise move. Planning to eliminate uncertainty is a fool’s errand.
