“You are as old as the risks you take. In many ways, aging is not the process of growing old, but rather the slow death of becoming overly protective, scared, and worried about losing what you have. Youth is found in the energy of going for it, taking the risk, and trusting that you’ll figure it out along the way.”

This Larry Winget quote reminds me of something I say often, “don't tell me your priorities, show me your calendar.”

“It’s not that we don’t have time. It’s that we don’t have time for the things that are really important. There’s always enough time to do what’s really important, but we get caught up doing things that aren’t important.”

Strangely, life gets harder when you try to make it easy.

Exercising might be hard, but never moving makes life harder.

Mastering your craft is hard, but having no skills is harder.

Uncomfortable conversations are hard, but avoiding every conflict is harder.

Easy has a cost."

Robert Louis Stevenson on living one day at a time:

"Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means."

“ One reason the best in the world make consistently good decisions is they rarely find themselves forced into a decision by circumstances. ”

The past is a teacher, not a judge. Your next move matters more than your last mistake.

It’s really just you against the mirror. You vs you. No one else can win at a game of one. I know it’s hard not to get distracted, race horses wear blinders for a reason. Your lane you’re game. LFG.

The shortest path is the one you don't abandon.
