1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
This one comes from David Krakauer, Professor of Complex Systems at the Santa Fe Institute (I heard Sam Harris interviewing him on the Waking Up podcast). It struck me that his point about celestial mechanics is what we’re on the verge of with psychology today:
“Before Kepler revolutionized our understanding of celestial mechanics, we had armillary spheres with all these epicycles and deferents explaining—incorrectly—the circular motion of a celestial mass. It took a while for us to realize that there was a very compact, elegant way of describing them. And it could be that for many complex phenomena, there is a very elegant, compact way of describing them. For many others, I don’t think that will be the case.” Read More →

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
– Chinese proverb.
(This article is an excerpt from my book RESULTS: Think Less, Achieve More that recently appeared in Start Your Business Magazine)
We live at an extraordinary time in history. There’s never been more opportunity to start and grow your business, and there’s never been more information about what to do and how to do it.

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
This one comes from the one and only Muhammad Ali…
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion.” Read More →

And one of the interesting things about Russell is that he left a very successful career to re-create himself and be more ‘him’ in work and play.

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
This one comes from Byron Katie. She appears to be enlightened.
“As long as you think that the cause of your problem is “out there”
—as long as you think that anyone or anything is responsible for your suffering—
the situation is hopeless. It means that you are forever in the role of victim,
that you’re suffering in paradise.” Read More →
