Life isn’t short — we simply squander it, trading depth for busyness, presence for performance. The problem was never a shortage of time. It was a shortage of attention paid to what actually matters.

To run your life like a robot. To schedule every waking hour to maximize your performance. To treat a day as a race. This blocks your creativity and reduces your poetry and closes your soul. This won’t make you happy, in the end.

So, of course — have great habits. Use your power to realize your gifts, make your day great, and honor your dreams. 

Do what is yours to do. Then make space. For awe, wonder, wisdom and coincidence.

My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.

Until you have discovered something you are willing to die for, then you're not fit to live. And I know that's a bold statement from MLK and I know it's dramatic, but I think it's true. You want to find your mighty mission. You want to discover your personal Mount Everest. You want to get great intimacy and clarity with that one thing that you want the rest of your life to stand for. I don't know what that will be for you. It could be daily discipline, could be artistry and mastery, it could be building a great family, it could be living simply with excellence and awesome values. But I think it's really important to know what your mountaintop looks like because clarity really does precede mastery. And if you don't know where you're going, then any road will certainly get you there.
