Pay It Forward
Imagine this scene. You’re on a plane with another 2 hours before you are due to land and boredom has well and truly set in. You finished the only book you had with you hours ago and you’ve decided you really don’t want to watch Shrek 4 for a third time.
So you start to rummage around in the seat pockets in front of you looking for some interesting reading matter to fill some time. Fortunately for you, it’s your lucky day, because some muppet inadvertently left a book behind in their haste to disembark the previous flight.
Hope Is Not Enough
It’s funny how the universe or God, or whatever you feel is the driving force behind this whole experience, lines things up in life.
This past week my wife had to change her dental appointment. She had already canceled once, and so she asked me if I needed the slot. I did. I had been planning to schedule one for months, and just didn’t make it happen.
Rich and Happy Comes In All Sizes
Live is spooky isn’t it? Not long after writing the post entitled ‘Never, never, never give up’ I was sent a link by a friend to a talk on TED. I’m not sure how many links I get sent per week, but it’s a lot and I probably only ever get round to watching about half of them.
Speakers at TED are only allowed to talk for a maximum of 20 minutes and as such all the talks there are punchy and to the point. They are also almost always brilliant as TED only invites the most engaging and interesting speakers. People that have valuable stories, information and insights to share and people that are more often than not living the Rich and Happy life.
You Don’t Have To Wait
I spoke recently about the need to be patiently unrealistic and to take things easy on yourself as you move toward your Rich and Happy life as success rarely arrives FedEx overnight.
What I didn’t say though was that you will have to wait until you hit middle-age to achieve the life you want to live (unless of course you’re already middle-aged like me, in which case, tough!).
It’s OK to Pay for Sex & Smoke Weed, Just Don’t Be An Adventurer
One of the pieces of the Rich and Happy formula is to ignore most people. So what do you do when they won’t let you ignore them?
An interesting case has come up recently that illustrates this. It involves a thirteen year old girl who wants to sail around the world. I’ll give you the particulars and then some thoughts on how she, and you if you face something equally ridiculous, can get beyond it.
