Secrets of Adulthood

This post was inspired by Gretchen Rubin's book and blog The Happiness Project. I think a couple of these are direct quotes from her SOAs. And I know a couple were inspired by things friends said to me. My thanks to all of the above.

You can't make everyone happy, no matter how hard you try.

Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around.

Multitasking doesn't really accomplish much more than doing things one at a time. And doing things one at a time is more pleasant.

People are not offended by what you write, they are challenged by it.

Think what you want.

Embarrassment is not fatal.

In the search for safety, you can't get 100% coverage.

Most of the time the only thing you can control is your attitude.

So are they

They're all cheetahs

Cheetah care

Eat artfully




Purpose: Life



The purpose of life is to live it,
to taste experience to the utmost,
to reach out eagerly and without fear...


Eleanor Roosevelt

The key to having money...


A tiny bud of a smile



quote

Follow and leap


Release and receive


A body in motion


Go


You can take it with you


Live a wide sky life


Buoyancy compensation


She needs it too


A level playing field


Beware of extra


Invite harmony


Avoid tilt


Steady


See where it takes you


Be the water, not the rocks


Go with it



Vision shift

I've been exploring the idea of doing a paper vision board. It occurs to me, though, that I can more easily get to images on the 'net than I can find specific things in magazines. So, I'm going to do a series of posts here that will help me solidify my vision for 2010 and beyond, with labels at the bottom of the posts to create collections of related images and words.
