Action is everything
May. 8th, 2008 06:30 amI recently ran across "Action Girl's Guide to Living" and I really like it.
I particularly like Rule 2: Support Other's Actions. Even if you're not brave enough or don't have the time or have obstacles that stand in the way of living your dream (write that novel, quit your job to go back to school, start a blog, whatever), then support your friends and loved ones when they take action and do something cool.
I also already try to live by Rule 6. If you spend a lot of time obsessing about how others have done you wrong, or why your boss is a jerk, you're letting them win. They've taken more of your mental energy than they deserve.
