Too

Someone look super human to you?

They’re everywhere, doing all the things, making all the moves.

Well, surprise surprise. They’re just human.

You can do it, too.

They just helped you

Listen to people’s words about what you do.

If it doesn’t sound good to you, change what you do.

Small tweaks. Big changes.

OR, if you’re doing the right thing, be more clear about what you do.

If they’re confused or not excited or mistaken, embrace it. They just helped you.

Creatin’

Find a creative outlet.

Maybe it’s Instagram. Maybe it’s painting. Maybe it’s cooking. Or woodwork. Or photography. Or landscaping. Or gardening. Or writing. Or whatever.

Few good jobs leave room for much creation.

So do your job. But also do some creatin’.

And smile

At checkout. In your Lyft. At dinner.

Outside of your home, there’s a good chance someone’s watching.

A good reminder to be kind. And smile.

Let’s go

Spend one hour today planning and booking a trip.

No, you might not find the best deal. Or have thought through every possible option for scheduling.

But after one hour, you have a little trip planned. And, after one hour, you’re back to the hustle (far making up for any little savings or efficiencies you didn’t find).

Let’s go.

Some people

No matter how easy you make it for them, they’d prefer not to help you.

  • A one-minute email.
  • A five-second text.
  • A two-second mention.

Stop using ease and generosity to convince these people.

Most people like helping.

Some people just like helping themselves.

Consume or create

Shows to binge. Movies to see. Stories to read.

Try to consume it all.

But you can’t.

Why not, instead, create something?

It’s time spent you’ll never regret.
