I always thought the ideal situation was to be totally independent, do everything yourself, and not need anybody. But lately, I’m discovering that the opposite is true.
You’re overwhelmed, overbooked, overstretched. It feels like there’s no time to exercise or rest or do anything fun, yet you know those are the things that recharge you and make it possible to do the things you need to do. What do you do?
Anything worthwhile that you can do, will likely scare you. You probably woke up today wanting more. But something got in your way, didn’t it? Fear. It’s time to overcome fear and start controlling your own life.

In the end, the other people were the best part of the World Domination Summit.
People are always predicting the end of the world. But I think in the midst of the hype, lunacy, and Schadenfreude, there’s a glimmer of an important message, and it’s not about sin or judgement.
