"Life is short. We're only allotted so much time to make our mark. I say that's all the more reason to get focused. Stop producing outputs that don't make your soul sing. Avoid trying to be effective or efficient doing things that you're not proud of and make no impact. Determine what outputs really matter to you at this stage in your life, chart your five moves to accomplish your big dreams, and go make it happen while getting insanely good at what you do. From there, the world is yours."

“Everything you want should be yours: the type of work you want; the relationships you need; the social, mental, and aesthetic stimulation that will make you happy and fulfilled; the money you require for the lifestyle that is appropriate to you; and any requirement that you may (or may not) have for achievement or service to others. If you don’t aim for it all, you’ll never get it all. To aim for it requires that you know what you want.”
- Richard Koch, The 80/20 Principle

“Goals only need 3 things: they need direction, they need action, and they need time. Are you headed in the right direction? ‘Is what I’m doing right now getting me closer to or further away from my goals’ is a really good question to ask yourself 20 times a day. I’m scrolling on Instagram. Is what I’m doing right now getting me closer to, or further away from my goals? Am I headed in the right direction? Am I taking the right actions?”
