What does life expect from you?
Happiness comes from purpose. Joy comes from vulnerability.
Happiness can not be bought, unless your purpose is to buy new things.
The healthy combination of identity/significance is when you do something that gives you identity/significance that you're not doing for identity/significance.
Everyone wants and needs identity/significance but there's something impolitic when we're doing something for specifically identity/significance.
This is just another way of saying "Do What You Love", and do it for no other reason.
Most of us have experienced those completely unbelievable almost divined moments. Those moments that make us ask, did something else make that happen or was this thing that feels so specific really just completely random.
If we look to life for a possible answer, we see that often when it comes to questions with one side or the other perspectives, the answer almost always seems to be somewhere in the middle. And that's what I propose. Maybe it's not predefined and maybe it's not completely random. Maybe it's a little of both.
Intertwining the 4 stages of learning with attitude.
1. Unconscious Mean: Unaware (No Motive)
2. Conscious Mean: Aware (With Motive)
3. Conscious Nice: Aware (With Motive)
4. Unconscious Nice: Unaware (No Motive).
The key there is “Motive”. Nice with motive almost feels slightly deceitful and mean with no motive is not intentional. Makes me wonder if 25% of the people out there are genuinely nice people and are only 25% of the people out there intentionally mean.

A few friends and I try to make this a weekend routine. It's called 1000 steps but it's really about 270 steps one way. It'll kick your butt going up and down it 5-10 times. Usually there's maybe 20 or so people doing laps on it at any given time, and then you have a few people just using it to get down to the beach and back. Bring some Gatorade with you because you're going to be tired!

Your thoughts are the ultimate control of your life.
Success is peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction and knowing you’ve made the effort to do the best of what you’re capable.
We permit ourselves to fail by default rather than run the risk of failing as a result of having made the effort to succeed.
Vulnerability is the most accurate measurement of courage.
A person will only tolerate the amount of abuse from somebody else at levels equal to or less than the abuse that they give themselves.
Hell starts when the person you are meets the person you could have been.
No written word, no spoken plea can teach our youth what they should be. Nor all the books on all the shelves, its what the teachers are themselves.
