Positive paths

Be wary of quick, simple, easy solutions. Resist the temptation to hack your health, your finances, your life.

Be willing to gather the necessary knowledge, and invest time to forge that knowledge into understanding. Then let that understanding drive your endeavors to achieve goodness and value for yourself and those around you.

Instead of merely conducting transactions, build relationships. Don’t settle for worthless junk that’s handed out for free when you can work to create and experience actual value.

Life is too precious to waste it avoiding effort, commitment, discipline, and purpose. Find meaningful ways to embrace the challenges and fulfill the opportunities that fill your world.

Life’s richness is yours to the degree you invest yourself in it. Your thoughts, your time, your words, actions, habits, preferences, all represent pathways to unique and rewarding fulfillment.

Follow those positive paths, seize the best opportunities and do the work of bringing them to fruition. Do what’s best, what’s most valuable and meaningful, not merely what’s easiest.
