- Retirement is the worst-case-scenario insurance.
- Alternating between periods of rest and activity is essential.
- Focus on being productive instead of busy.
- The timing is never right. Waiting for ‘someday’ means that you will take your dreams to the grave.
- Ask for forgiveness, not permission.
- Emphasize strengths. Don’t fix weaknesses.
- When things are done to excess, they often take on the characteristics of their opposites.
- Money alone is not the solution. We use not having enough money as a scapegoat for not working out what we want out of life.
- Relative income is more important than absolute income.
- Distress is bad, eustress is good (the type of stress that helps you grow).
