On Ripe Fruit
If a project isn’t working out or yielding results, you don’t have to keep working on it just because you’ve already put so much effort into it. You must recognize that the apple must drop in order to give way to new apples ready to be nurtured.
On Events and Nuclear Accelerators
Events are like nuclear accelerators. The more ideas you throw in, the better chance a new innovation comes out.
On the Positives of Being Selfish
Being 'selfish' doesn't have to always be a negative thing. You can be 'selfish' about your time and priorities when it comes to your own joy.
On Creating Life
Every day we keep our ideas to ourselves, we’re missing out on the opportunity to create life. Life that will impact an entire generation or maybe even just one person.
On Thinking Less
Do your most important tasks first thing in the morning and save yourself from a troubled mind. Prioritize what you love early and it’ll be impossible for you to get too busy to do it at the end of your day.
On Sunday Scaries
Feelings of anxiety and unrest are a common theme for millions of humans every Sunday, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
On Making a Change
Life’s a continuum not a competition. It’s important to put a focus on your own joy even if it means starting from scratch.
On Senses and Memory
Even if your mind is in the clouds, your body is always in the present moment. Pay attention to your senses and take in your environment wherever you go. Listen to your body.
On Boredom and Creative Thought
Giving your mind a chance to wander can be an excellent exercise in creative thought. The next time you’re driving somewhere remove all auditory stimuli. Let boredom take hold.
On Finding the Common Thread
As a human, it’s up to you to take your knitting needles out and start weaving together the common threads that impact your own life.
On Energy and Light Bulbs
Every human runs on a different wattage and some light bulbs burn brighter and longer than others.
On Scientists
We’re all scientists. We experiment, come up with theories and see which ones stick. Where we slip up is when we just settle for what works rather than constantly trying to get better.
On One Percent
In order to become an expert, you have to fall in love with the process and be okay with small gains making all of the difference.
On Winners and Losers
Life is not a game with a set group of winners and losers. Every person has their own why and reasoning behind what brings them joy.
On Heart Beat
Imagine if all of your days could be as consistent as the beat of your heart. Finding equilibrium is the key to fulfillment.
On Watching the Experts
Experts have a beautiful way of embracing the nuance and monotony that comes with thousands of hours perfecting their craft.
On Opportunity and Pouncing
The next time you see an opportunity, be tactical in your approach. Lions don’t survive in the wild by pouncing too early on their prey.
On Mornings
If you're hitting the snooze button, something is making you not want to start your morning. Counter this by doing something that makes you want to get up EVERY DAY.
On One Simple Question
Who am I doing this for? This is the simple question that every human should be asking themselves when it comes to joy.
On Travel and Sanity
Traveling is an amazing way to experience new places, but it should not be used as an escape from your life or problems. No matter where you go, internally you’ll still be messed up.
