Today, take your past out of your future.
Performance lives in action, not description or reasons.
"What’s the lesson to be learned? if you want a boost in productivity, try rethinking how you multitask so that you only ever need to think about one thing at a time."

You can’t multitask (via mnmal)
[Also schedule EVERYTHING, stop complaining you don’t have enough time]
Nobody likes to be dominated by another, and attachment is a form of domination.

On Opportunity: Know your future
Where do opportunities manifest? Answer: From where you are. How do opportunities manifest? Answer: You know yourself as Great, and you are great with others; and you set a huge goal for yourself, one that you stretches what you even have imagined possible for yourself. If your goal is “easy,” you’re playing small.
Opportunity is such that if you are too busy looking “out there” for the perfect one to come along, you may miss (or worse, deflect) the ones right in front of your nose.

The truth is there is no “perfect” opportunity, there is only the perfect you. And the perfect you exists when you accept exactly who you are, who you are not, and where you are going. Planning a future that inspires you creates clear lines of action and ways of being to start from NOW. Wherever you start is THE place to start.
When opportunities do come, they may be outside of your comfort zone. This means your goals are working; acknowledge your discomfort, talk it out with unbiased mentors (avoid just seeking agreement for your preference), and remember opportunities occur where you are now.
Show your gratitude to the messengers of opportunity. Be genuine and share yourself first, there is time for strategy and considerations, but don’t allow those to cut off the legs of opportunity.
Be generous. Be bold. Be confident. Be patient. Be humble. Be thoughtful. Be decisive.
Live your future in every moment of now. Have the strength and courage to see that you have arrived, you are ready, and you are great. Only you decide your limits.
“You need to do something, get good at it, be passionate about it.” http://bit.ly/542bXR
"You need to do something, get good at it, be passionate about it. This could take months or years, but if you’re having fun, that’s what’s most important. When you get to the point where someone would pay you for it, then you’re golden — there are many ways to make a living at that point, including doing freelance or consulting work, making information products such as ebooks, writing a blog and selling advertising. In fact, I recommend you do a blog if you’re not already — it’ll help solidify your thinking, build a reputation, find people who are interested in what you do, demonstrate your knowledge and passion."
