So true! Great post! While I wish I knew this truth sooner, I am ever so grateful I know it now and can still do something about it!

The first time I saw the word “doable” was in an interview, several years ago, in a magazine I’ve forgotten, with Steve Jobs. He spoke about long-term goals and objectives but, important to me was when he said, each day he broke down his goals into “doable” activities. Well, the end results speak for themselves. Thanks for your to-the-point email. I hope to read every article on your site, slowly. Absorbing, assimilating then taking doable actions. Errol.

We could all benefit in one way or another by getting in touch with our “inner rock star” — in whatever form that takes.

Sounds simple, like “Just Do It”, but it’s actually the hardest thing to do … and keep doing it, especially when the going gets lumpy, and bumpy, and you get grumpy…

everyone comes to their calling from a higher ground…doesnt surprise me in the least you had that aspiration. Because the flavor and stylings you mix into copyblogger are reflective of musical skill. It’s why it works. You are not just another copywriter, but a reformed lawyer carrying a guitar.

The problem today is way too many people settle.

I am always striving for excellence, I couldn’t live with myself if I settled for second-rate.

Whenever I see something I imagine ways to make it better, and if it is worth my time I do something about it!

Never settle for anything.

If you’re going to bust a gut every day working hard you might as well do it for something you love, because you might just achieve it.

If you’re busting a gut every day doing something you hate, you’re only going to be really good at doing what you hate.

Life is far too short.
