find and follow your passion. work at something that is your passion, and it ceases to be work. live abroad, and it seems like a holiday

try many things until you find it.

talk to people with passion

family

friends

colleagues

how was your day? fine?

was it fine, did you choose to say fine, or did you just reply from habit?

fine is a 5. crap is a 1, and fantastic is a 10.

lets say there is only 1 and 10. which day would you choose?

choose your day, and have the day you choose!

having been lucky enough to fly above the clouds, i know the sun is shining there above the fluffy white stuff. thats where i choose to live, whatever is going on around me.
