When was the last time you asked yourself something? More specifically, when was the last time you asked yourself what you&#8217;re really good at.
When was the last time you offered yourself an honest answer about what you&#8217;re really good at? When was the last time you were honest enough to realize what you just weren&#8217;t good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(HINT: Click on images for a larger view.)
I remember growing older and slowly coming to the realization that there were only some aspects of my life I could completely control. As time went on, I gained control over more things in my life. That&#8217;s what growing up is.
The frustrations of growing up generally revolve around [...]]]></description>

What a crucial decision. Think of all the people you hang out with and how just hanging out with them has affected your life already. All of those little decisions, every day, ganged up to stick you right where you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My theory is that people have too much to worry about these days. It forces people to medicate and relieve their stress in one way or another. It also forces people to be less-than-perfect just to get by in their daily lives.
We need to worry about less to be better at whatever we&#8217;re good at.

You are the foster father of success. Please never leave us, and please continue to enhance just about every moment of my day, beginning with morning rituals.

		<description><![CDATA[It sounds like science fiction, something out of the Blade Runner days, but imagine if every human&#8217;s time could be managed and spent more wisely, globally.
I drive, walk and look around and frequently wonder, as I see people doing less than nothing, &#8220;What are your plans today?&#8221;, &#8220;What do you have going on?&#8221;. It sounds [...]]]></description>

In it, Scott Adams quotes from a Time magazine article about Albert Einstein&#8217;s views on Faith. I had read this a few weeks ago, when it was first published. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the line, &#8220;Look Out, Look Around&#8221; is from a Fugazi song, or maybe it&#8217;s just my horrible translation of a misinterpreted lyric. I think it was Guy that sang it, I&#8217;ll have to go through my songs and see if I can find the reference.
