party time

Owning the right possessions is like inviting the right people to your party.

soundtrack

Before choosing music to pay, listen to the music of the place.

used

Sometimes you should throw away the one you have been using and keep the one you never used.

undecided

You have multiple possessions that you intend to use in the future, but there is only one future that matters.

suds

If something is very dirty, consider whether the effort of cleaning it is greater than the value it may have after it is clean.

filter

Collect information from the world and scrutinize it carefully when you have a major decision to make. At other times, don’t fuss over the many little shifts and changes happening around you.

free pass

Follow in someone else’s footsteps if it is a relief to see the path already created.

untangled

Distractions take up your time, so it is a sensible investment to spend a comparable amount of time removing distractions.

maze

Stick with the difficult problem that comes up; or set it aside and move on to something easier. There is no wrong way to move through a set of challenges.

even flow

You don’t need to have a history of stability to create stability. Stability emerges out of vision and decisions.

in a frame

Choose a smaller, more specific goal to get things going again.

zero point

To make decisions faster, breathe slower.

in the wind

There are times when a roll of the dice will produce a better course of action than any plan your conflicted mind can come up with.

my reasons

When you know one reason why someone made a decision, it is easy to imagine that it is the only reason, but decisions are usually not this simple. This also applies to your own decisions.

revision

It is easier to change your mind if you know where your point of view came from.

refocus

Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Instead take a guess at the best thing you can do right now.

you go first

You can’t wait for the chaos in the world to resolve before you decide what you are going to do.

forks

Any plan, however well intentioned, carries the shadows of the people who created the plan. Incorporate randomness into a plan so that you can break out of the box or get out of the rut that the plan puts you in.

brought down

If you refuse to be defeated, ever, you will just end up surrounded by all the stuff that defeated you.

showing the way

The more clear your thoughts and intentions are, the easier it is for you to provide an example to follow.
