I want my life to have had more value than just acquiring stuff and living comfortably. I may die rich, or I may die broke. But I won’t die with my music still in me.

Steve Pavlina

The exact process you use to build courage isn’t important. What’s important is that you consciously do it. Just as your muscles will atrophy if you don’t regularly stress them, your courage will atrophy if you don’t consistently challenge yourself to face down your fears.

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

Creating Value People
To work effectively you need uninterrupted blocks of time in which you can complete meaningful work… I’ve found that a minimum of 90 minutes is ideal for a single block.

Definition Provoking Rejects Thought
Treat your business relationships like friendships (or potential friendships). Formality puts up walls, and walls don’t foster good business relationships. No one is loyal to a wall… except the one in China.

Hard Work Purpose Strong
Do what you love, but be damned sure it’s profitable. If you do work you love, but it doesn’t generate income, your business will fail. If you do work you hate, but it generates income, your health will fail… and your business along with it.

Are you one of those people who notices the problems of the world and says … somebody ought to do something about that? Why not you? If you feel a strong urge to see a problem fixed, then why not act on it?

Don’t die without embracing the daring adventure your life is meant to be. You may go broke. You may experience failure and rejection repeatedly. You may endure multiple dysfunctional relationships. But these are all milestones along the path of a life lived courageously.

When you fail you discover your boundaries. You map out the edges of your capabilities. And this allows you to eventually move beyond them. Being wrong eventually leads to being right. And even where it doesn’t, it’s still a more interesting path than being nothing.

To abandon a comfortable lifestyle that isn’t deeply fulfilling is to abandon nothing.
