Treat Your Life Like A Game.

Since The Only Way You Are Going To Find Solutions To Painful Problems Is By Thinking Deeply About Them - I.e., Reflecting - If You Can Develop A Knee-jerk Reaction To Pain That Is To Reflect Rather Than To Fight Or Flee, It Will Lead To Your Rapid Learning/evolving.

I Believe That Understanding What Is Good Is Obtained By Looking At The Way The World Works And Figuring Out How To Operate In Harmony With It To Help It Evolve.

This Is My Year Of Transition From What I'm Calling The Second Phase Of My Life To The Third Phase Of My Life. And I Wanted To Pass It Along. What I Mean By That Is, In The First Days Of Your Life You're Dependent On Others And You Learn. You're Basically A Kid, Depending On Your Parents. In The Second Phase Of Your Life, You're Working And Others Are Dependent On You And You're Trying To Be Successful. And Then When You Go To The Third Phase Of Your Life It's No Longer As Much Of A Kick To Be Successful. There's A Natural, Instinctual Desire To Help Other People Be Successful.

Meditation More Than Anything In My Life Was The Biggest Ingredient Of Whatever Success I've Had.

There Is Slow Growth, But It Is Positive Slow Growth. At The Same Time, Ratios Of Debt-to-incomes Go Down. That's A Beautiful Deleveraging.
