Hi friend!

1) watch.

68 Bits of Unsolicited Advice
Some of my favorites:
"When you die you take absolutely nothing with you except your reputation."
"Hatred is a curse that does not affect the hated. It only poisons the hater. Release a grudge as if it was a poison."
"You really don’t want to be famous. Read the biography of any famous person."
3) use.

For $25 a year, this service will email you insane deals on domestic and international flights.
This week, I bought a roundtrip ticket to Madrid for $250.
4) listen to.

Quotes.
“Everyone is shy. Other people are waiting for you to introduce yourself to them, they are waiting for you to send them an email, they are waiting for you to ask them on a date. Go ahead.”
-Kevin Kelly
“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger than we were before.”
-Alice Walker
“Even when we are completely alone, we carry within us the sense of whom we belong with and our concerns about how others regard us.”
-Tara Brach
