Wise Words

I feel compelled to share something which I read on the internet today:

and this:

In a nutshell: the writer's tip for a successful life is to stop trying to be amazing at 15 things; pick one or two, and do them really well.

I leave you now to ponder on the implications of this in your own time.

  1. In the words of the author:

    'It’s okay not to feel overwhelmed. It’s okay to actually have free time. It’s okay to simplify and try a life that’s a little more zen.'

    Now I feel OK about my own afternoon of happy time-wasting (or, if you will, blogger research).
