" "Steve Jobs when he was asked to address the graduating class at Stanford: Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

For example, once a month I might actually skip going to the gym one day and instead read about new workout routines, buy a new fitness app, or study a new fitness method to optimize my gym time. This is what I mean by the discovery process. You step back from what you’re doing and seek to discover new ways to do it better.
I believe every day should begin and end with gratitude. I practice it every day in my morning meditation. Each morning, focusing on the reverse gap, I think of five things I’m grateful for in my personal life. Then I think of five things I’m grateful for in my work and career. A typical list might look like this: PERSONAL LIFE 1.My daughter, Eve, and her beautiful smiles 2.The happiness I felt last night relaxing with a glass of red wine and watching Sherlock on BBC 3.My wife and life partner 4.The time I spent with my son building his newest Lego Star Wars creation 5.The wonderful cup of gourmet coffee my publicist, Tania, left on my desk WORK LIFE 1.My leadership team and the amazing talent they bring to our company 2.A particularly great letter we received for my online course Consciousness Engineering 3.The incredibly fun Culture Day we had in the office yesterday 4.The fact that plans are coming together to hold our upcoming A-Fest at another amazing location 5.Having coworkers who are friends and who greet me with hugs when I come to the office This entire practice takes me no more than ninety seconds. But it’s perhaps one of the most important and powerful ninety seconds I can spend each day.
Alan Watts famously said: Forget the money, because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living — that is, to go on doing things you don’t like doing. Which is stupid. Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.
