I came across a few really good articles the past couple of weeks. This is good material for reading over the weekend, and/or to help you get in the right frame of mind on Monday.
- Leo Babauta recently wrote 3 Truths to Help You Live a Life of Gratitude. As with all of Leo’s articles, this one is very well thought out. Perhaps you already live a life of gratitude, and need no further guidance on it. But, if you are like me and are horribly inconsistent at being grateful, and if it is not really internalized within you, you’ll want to read this article.
- Earlier this week, my friend John Rocheleau published an article on empowerment and the Courage to be Yourself. John reminds us that we too frequently look to external resources for our empowerment, instead of looking within.
- Toward the end of 2006, JD wrote a post entitled Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. The article is very well written and has a number of excellent points (whether you plan on being a millionaire or not).
Mark Cuban has a two-sentence blog post, which says
“Today is the youngest you will ever be. Act like it.”
And, Seth Godin has a post entitled Is It Worthy? I really like his summary paragraph:
“The object isn’t to be perfect. The goal isn’t to hold back until you’ve created something beyond reproach. I believe the opposite is true. Our birthright is to fail and to fail often, but to fail in search of something bigger than we can imagine. To do anything else is to waste it all.”
