Productivity = creating value and delivering it to people. All other busywork is unproductive fluff and should be minimized.

Steve Pavlina

In the absence of this kind of conscious conditioning, you’ll automatically become weak in both body and mind. If you aren’t regularly exercising your courage, then you are strengthening your fear by default; there is no middle ground.
