Hi there,
Here is your weekly For Value Sake, contributing value to your growth.

A Quote Worth Thinking About

“Anyone who isn’t embarrassed by who they were last year probably isn’t learning enough.”
— Alain de Botton

+ Read past editions of For Value Sake: 27, 26, and All,

1. HOW TO MAKE OR BREAK YOUR LIFE

+If you could give yourself two hours, every morning, solely dedicated to learning, thinking, planning, meditating, praying, and writing in your journal, your life would change.

+ “If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

+ “Some books are “milk,” some books are “meat.”
Some books will change your entire life. Others are hardly worth the paper.
Do you read deep, or shallow?”

+”Reading isn’t enough though.
You need to spend plenty of time thinking, meditating, praying if so inclined, and writing in your journal.”

+If you have the same priorities and goals you had last year, then you didn’t learn very much in the past 12 months.

To be able to constantly and consistently grow in our lives we need just a few hours. One or two hours that we consistently commit to a particular thing.

Whatever we give time and energy in our lives will improve. our personal development, finances, relationships; anything.

2. THE DISTRACTED MIND

+ Turn off the triggers. Notifications are killing your ability to focus.”

We are all living largely distracted life’s.
If we can minimize the distractions a little bit we unlock time and energies that can be directed toward creating an amazing future and world.

We all enjoy spending time with that fun, engaging people instead of dull boring un-engaging folks.
