“Most people spend more time planning a one-week vacation than they spend planning their life.”
by Michael Hyatt
I read this from the book “Strategic Mindset”. I was shocked to realize that. Earlier this year we had an exact one-week vacation in Hawaii. That is our first time in Hawaii and the whole family (6 people) is going. I’m the travel planner and I dedicated weeks to planning because I want everyone to have a wonderful time there. In all honesty, I couldn’t help but acknowledge that I had probably never invested as much time in planning my own life as I did for that vacation.

“Let luck and happiness follow you and may you be shielded from misfortune.”
by Christopher Paolini, Book “Eragon”
I asked her why?
I like it because I would rather have luck and happiness follow most people than have misfortune follow most people. — 8 year old
