    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I turned 50 this year, which brought a whole new personal perspective on what's important in life. Material objects and shiny things don't interest me as they did before. My wants are: 1) Simple living, 2) Impacting and helping others, 3) Living life with purpose, 4) having life experiences...

    Damn, that is some tough medicine to swallow, but so true. I've owned a "corner cafe" that sucked my time and life and left me losing everything but the clothes on my back. Then, I switched to a SAAS model which has unlimited income potential and more time freedom. I cringe when people...

    Probably THE most important post in The Fastlane Forum. If you don't train your mind, you end up a train wreck. How we speak to ourselves and others sets the stage for achievement, health, joy, etc.

    I love your post because it begs us to consider our Big Why as to what gets us out of bed every morning. For me, I wanted more time freedom and life experience with my family, since my childhood was messed up. I want my kids to know they have a dad who is there for them. I want my wife to know...

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    My mom, who lives in southern Germany is bracing for disaster, as many Germans, who cannot afford (or can find) cut logs as a heat source, are now scouring nearby woods and cutting their own wood. Energy prices are rocking the European continent.

    That is so great to hear...and good for you to hang in there. Wisdom tells us that when we stop "striving" to get things in life, the doors of opportunity automatically open at the most opportune times.

    Dear Optimism: "I earned a PhD in street cred that I can take to the bank when the right opportunity comes." No situation is ever wasted. Keep your head up, and when a negative thought hits your head, counter it with a thought of gratitude and thankfulness.
