Random Thoughts – 83

1. Is a blog as successful as Michael Hyatt’s too much to ask?

2. Quit looking for your purpose.

3. Birthdays are odd. You never feel any older, do you?

4. I love that books can take you away.

5. “My love affair with books endures, or, if anything, is growing. My appreciation for a well-crafted sentence or a perfectly chosen word is only rising, and my fascination with narrative and characterization and revelation, especially in memoir, is akin to an obsession.”

–Shauna Niequist, Present Over Perfect

1. Video, more.

2. (A.B.I.): Always Be Improving

3. I heard somewhere there are two hard problems in I.T. People – and people. Made me laugh.

4. Our phones probably killed whittling.

5. “True friendship is a sacred, important thing, and it happens when we drop down into that deeper level of who we are, when we cross over into the broken, fragile parts of ourselves. We have to give something up in order to get friendship like that. We have to give up our need to be perceived as perfect. We have to give up our ability to control what people think of us. We have to overcome the fear that when they see the depths of who we are, they’ll leave.”

-Shauna Niequist, Cold Tangerines (Amazon)
