Are you in control of your life?

Paradoxes of life
Many books and good ideas conflict with each other. Stay with it and don’t quit, but don’t spend your life doing things you don’t like. Work hard, but don’t work too much. Save your money, have fun. Save the world, but only try to control the controllables. What’s true? You have to choose. …
The top 5%
If you want to be in the top 5%, by definition, you have to turn away from what the bottom 95% do. That makes sense, right? What you pay attention to, how you spend your time, what you value, and your habits - they will all buck popular trends and…
We become what we think about, even if we don't want it.
Whatever we focus on we tend to move towards and become. Keeping your major goal in mind every day and taking action on it is important. But if we are thinking about what we DON'T want to happen, what we want to avoid, we will move in that direction also.…

You don't. How much time do you have left? We don't know. If you have something to do, do it. If you love someone, say it. If you're doing something, do it to the best of your ability. And as you see others each day, be kind.
