55.5 – For Last Week’s MM:

No matter what you do, you will be criticized for it. So the only question that matters is, “What is worth being criticized for?”

Then do that.

What’s the thing you’re not doing for fear of criticism? Is it worth being criticized for?

Go do the thing that’s worth being criticized for. Let me know what happens.

Remember: Small changes lead to lasting breakthroughs.

I really want to say that, at least currently, I don’t have as many f*cks to give about other peoples’ criticisms. I used to, and I probably still do about a few things, but overall… this is a thing I’ve been working on for quite some time (and a lot of that reason is because of Mark Manson’s book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” – it’s pretty damned profound, highly recommend!

56.0 – Love, Money, and Fame

One thing for you to think about

Love, money and fame don’t change you, they amplify who you already are.

The generous get more generous.
The insecure get more insecure.
The undisciplined fly off the rails.

Whatever your dream is, know it won’t fix your life for you. It will only multiply what’s already there.

Reflect: Then consider sharing this thought with others.

Three things for you to ask yourself

Do you expect your dream to change you when it comes true? What if it doesn’t? What would that mean for you today?

Recommended: Use these as journaling prompts for the week.

Remember: Small changes lead to lasting breakthroughs.

As for how I’m doing… it’s actually been a pretty decent week. The previous 3 weeks were pretty taxing and just ugh, but… other than making a whole squirrel friend (whom I names Sir Squiggles Braveheart), I don’t have much else to report 😛 And here is a lovely picture of him (and yes, I’ve seen his stones, so… definitely a him)!
