Take a look at this Abraham Lincoln quote and think about it:
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.”
What, you reckon, is the message here?
Whenever you set out to achieve something, it might come in handy to invest a lot in the tools you’ll be using to complete your quest.
Now, let’s say our goal is to have an awesome life.

The answer might surprise you.
Perhaps even upset you.
