Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
Aside from when it’s frozen, I could tube on Lake Geneva endlessly. All the same, I could fish on Lake Michigan year round. Yet, YET! I need my happy time sitting on a bench beside a still pond, a serenely calm lake or a smooth flowing river.
We can’t have our yin without our yang. We all need our calm water.
Today seems as good as any to go find it.

I’ve written a bunch about starting fresh this new year. This post is by far my favorite
Taking Inventory
Nah. It’s more like getting rid of your inventory. Very cut and dry.
Go through all of your lists right now: your projects, your folders, your notes, your journals, your goals, and either ship or delete them.
Simple right?
Well you’re going to come across a project and think to yourself, “Well this is something that I can’t ship right now because it’s unfinished and it’ll take time to be finished.”
Decide right now whether you will actually finish it within the next two months. If yes, then do it. If no, then either delete it or ship a short version of it. Put it out there for someone else to work on.
There are a couple of concepts at play here.
The first is that if your idea was remarkable enough, you would be working on it constantly or would be passionate enough to complete it within two months.
The second is that if you can withhold one of your ideas, one of your projects, then you are saying it’s not important enough to be delivered right away. (If it is, then now I’m mad that you’ve made me wait so long and won’t buy into it when you finally deliver it.)
The new year is about starting fresh. You have 21 days to go through all you have and either ship or delete. Ship or delete. Ship or delete.
In order for a door to open, you must close one. Actually, the cool thing about life is that when one door closes, a million open for you. How many will you have opened for the new year?

I often get asked this question.
Here is my response.
Stay Positive & Impatient
Garth E. Beyer
Take time to figure yourself out.
Take time to realize what it is you want.
Take time to forget.
Take time to remember.
Take time to forgive.
Take time to decide.
Take time to love.
Take time to risk.
Take time to reply.
And then, when you’re finally ready, when the moment finally feels perfect, when there is no more doubt, you won’t have any time.
Act now, Ship today, Give everyday, Tell your feelings immediately, Decide quickly and accurately, Take A Risk, Make it short,

Cool thing is that by acting now, you have more time to recover, change strategy, or try something new – and that will make all the difference.
People want you to succeed. And when you get people to be a part of your accomplishments, you don’t only become stronger, they do too.

And the worst thing is, you can’t tell.
You can’t tell that the person beside you may be heart-broken. You can’t tell if they are hurting all over. You can’t tell if they’re struggling to smile. You can’t tell if they just want to break down and cry. And the sad thing is; they wish you could tell.
You can’t tell if you’re bored or hungry, you can’t tell if it’s love you are actually feeling, you can’t tell what someones first judgement of you is, you can’t tell if that person will ever come around. And the sad thing is: you wish you could tell.
There’s a lot of things in life that you just can’t tell.
I’ve always said, it’s not that everyone is fighting their own battles.
It’s that they are losing them.
Stay Positive & Give People A Chance

If you fight fear and win enough times, usually it disappears.
At least, it makes you think it has disappeared. It’s merely taken up a new angle, establishing a different strategy, waiting to catch you off guard.
It takes a fiercely determined person to constantly seek out and conquer their fear.
The conquering part is easy, just do whatever fear tells you not to.
It’s the seeking it out that people have problems with.
