How Can I Make This Easier? – 10:43

Life is full of ups and downs, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed with everything around you. Fortunately, you can make life less complicated by trying to make it easier. If it’s a relationship, ask yourself what you can do to make it easier. Do the same for your business and start making changes.

Will This Matter a Year From Now? – 15:46

Is what you’re stressing about right now matter a year from now? To answer the question, you have to figure out the importance of the issue at hand. If it’s important, then maybe it will matter. But if it’s not, then it definitely won’t matter. So the next time you get stuck in traffic, have an argument with your spouse, or miss a deadline, ask yourself if it will really matter 12 months from now.

Nevertheless, you won’t really know what brings you joy unless you embrace the spirit of adventure. Bite the bullet and give it a go, otherwise, it’s all just speculation. Try out new stuff because you’ll never know until you try.
