Smokers. Gamblers. Drinkers. Liars. Cheaters.
You see them and know.
You’re glad.
You’re not one of them.
Or are you?
I really shouldn’t
It wouldn’t be right.
It’s not my place.
I really shouldn’t.
So I won’t.
Good day.
What contract?
This friend.
That service.
This box.
That newsletter.
This tool.
That software.
Nothing’s under contract.
If they’re not making your life better, richer, or more joyous, let ’em go.
Nothing’s under contract.
Your days
Your days are yours.
Not your clients.
They’re yours.
So start them on your terms.
And end them the same.
See it live
Hockey on TV? Not the same. You gotta see it live.
Hamilton on mp3? Not the same. You gotta see it live.
Pretty much every landmark you’d see in history books? Not the same. You gotta see it live.
Life’s about rich experiences.
Go see it live.

31
I’m 31. Act I is done.
It was fun.
On to Act II.
Here’s to you.
Sit, stay, snap
With the two hours per day you spend on Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., think about the orphan who’d love to have spent that time by your side.
- Learning from you.
- Playing with you.
- Fine. Posing for selfies with you that you can post to your various social media accounts.
So put down the phone.
And go adopt a dog.
Send you a link
Have you seen this? I’ll send it to you.
Really?
No you won’t.
Unless you do it immediately after we talk, you’re not gonna. And then you look like an ass for breaking a simple promise.
Send the links immediately.
Or don’t say you will.
How to like anybody
Here’s how to like anybody:
Act as if today is their last day.
Now their annoying, obnoxious, stubborn behavior will evoke a different feeling.
Love.
[this is another gem from Sivers]
Your words
Think of your words like stuff you’d throw onto soil.
Are you they like seeds? You know, helping create something that will grow.
Or are they garbage? Destroying the land and bumming every one out.
