Life Is a Gift: The Zen of Tony Bennett

When you choose your friends, realize that you are also choosing your teachers.

Do something to improve yourself, every single day.

We can always seek beauty and inspiration in the world around us.

Good friends bring out the best qualities in one another.

You just never give up on yourself, and you believe in yourself. And you work hard to get better as you go along.

Obstacles are necessary for success. Be persistent and you will reach your goals.

If you are creative, you get busier as you get older.

Nature is the master artist.

The human voice is more flexible than any other instrument in existence. It can express various nuances in tone, volume and inflections that are beyond compare.

Everything you do should be done with love.

Being angry is a waste of time. Instead, count your blessings every day.

Before we do something, we need to ask ourselves: Is this good for all of us on the planet?

Excerpts from . . . Life Is a Gift: The Zen of Bennett by Tony Bennett

Chris McCombs: 11 Ways to Live Your Life with Balls

Spread the love
5 37

If you REALLY wanna do something else … something greater … something you’re passionate about … something that allows you to leave a bigger and better imprint on the world, in your own unique way, and enjoy it AND get paid for it … Then I’d do most, if not all, of these 11 things …

1. Be Relentless In Your Search

The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me. — Ayn Rand

2. Stop Being a Fucking Pussy

The edge is where all the cool stuff happens. You are nowhere near the goddamn edge. It’s time you stopped being a fucking pussy. — Julien Smith

3. Ask for Big Guidance

I just basically got on my knees, and with everything in me, asked for some guidance when it came to what I should be doing for a living. — Chris McCombs

4. Be Still

Our souls know our calling. — Chris McCombs

5. Ask Yourself

The unexamined life is not worth living. — Socrates

6. Ask Others

Once you start asking, you’d be amazed at the people who will start showing up in your life with the answers. — Chris McCombs

7. Research

If you don’t seek out the clues, sign posts and the popcorn trail that runs through the halls of the universal library that’s out there, it’s no one’s fault but your own. — Chris McCombs

8. If a Clean Break Isn’t an Option, Start out Part Time in Your Off Hours

Most people tiptoe through life, hoping they make it safely to death. — Bob Proctor

9. Trust God

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls. — Joseph Campbell

10. Be in the Action Business, NOT the Results Business

Play from your fucking heart! — Bill Hicks

11. Make Your Mind Up That NOTHING Is Gonna Stop You

Let your Inner Giant out of it’s cage to rise up and do some seriously awesome shit. — Chris McCombs

9 Simple Steps to Happiness Infographic

9 Simple Steps to Happiness

1. Buy Bliss – Buying experiences rather than things maximizes your happiness.

2. Get Older – As kids leave home, women have more time to nurture themselves. So do men.

3. Forget Self-Improvement – Basking in what’s great about yourself is more effective than trying to fix what’s not.

4. Make Tough Stuff Work – Even troubles can have silver linings.

5. Spend 21 Minutes Focusing on Your Relationship – A good marriage takes effort and time. Take a little time to ask each other key questions. 7 minutes of reflection 3 times a year makes a difference.

6. Try a Tearjerker – The more sadness people experience during a movie, the greater their feelings of happiness were afterwards.

7. Love Your Commute – Stop focusing on the traffic. Instead, think about something you are thankful for. People who give thanks are more content.

8. Take Credit for Giving – Giving to charity brings more happiness than spending money on yourself.

9. Fake It Till You Feel It – The mere act of smiling can cheer you up.

Guy Kawasaki: The Top 10 Lessons You’ll Need

Spread the love

Guy Kawasaki’s Advice to the Class of 2013 –
The Top 10 Lessons You’ll Need

10. Live off your parents as long as you can. Take whole semesters off to travel overseas. Take jobs and internships that pay little or no money. Investigate your passions on your parent’s nickel. Or dime. Or quarter. Or dollar. Your goal should be to extend college to at least six years.

9. Pursue joy, not happiness. Happiness is temporary and fleeting. Joy, by contrast, is unpredictable. It comes from pursing interests and passions that do not obviously result in happiness.

8. Embrace the unknown. One of the biggest mistakes you can make in life is to accept the known and resist the unknown. Do exactly the opposite: challenge the known and embrace the unknown.

7. Learn to speak a foreign language, play a musical instrument, and play non-contact sports. These are the things you’ll appreciate and can do when you are older.

6. Continue to learn. It gets easier to learn once you’re out of school because it’s easier to see the relevance of why you need to learn.

5. Learn to like yourself or change yourself until you can like yourself. Fix your problem. Fix your life.

4. Don’t get married too soon. I got married when I was 32. That’s about the right age. Until you’re about that age, you may not know who you are. You also may not know who you’re marrying.

3. Play to win, and win to play. Compete to the depth and breadth and height that your soul can reach. Your greatest competition is yourself.

2. Obey the absolutes. Preserve the absolutes as much as you can. If you never lie, cheat, or steal, you will never have to remember who you lied to, how you cheated, and what you stole.

1. Enjoy your family and friends. Nothing—not money, power, or fame—can replace your family and friends or bring them back once they are gone.
