About two and a half years ago I wrote a very short list of things I want. I open up the document containing the list every month or so, usually when I’m cleaning out my DropBox.
At the bottom of the short list, I have a motto. It’s more moving to me than the list of things I want…
Stop thinking about what you want. Think about how you want to feel.
Instead of looking for what will make you happy, focus on what you’re good at.
Rather than planning to get ahead, find a way to help others.
