If it didn't happen in your life before, then you're not paying attention you don't think it's possible. But almost all important events never happen in your life before.

Principles are what allow you to live a life consistent with those values. Principles connect your values to your actions.

Like the saying goes, don't believe everything you read.

I think meditation has been the single biggest reason for whatever success Ive had

The main reason I write the daily observations is because I want to know where I'm wrong. So lots of times if somebody points something out it helps me, and I want to have a diversified bet of uncorrelated bets.

Meditation more than anything in my life was the biggest ingredient of whatever success I've had.

Unlike in school, in life you don't have to come up with all the right answers. You can ask the people around you for help - or even ask them to do the things you don't do well. In other words, there is almost no reason not to succeed if you take the attitude of 1) total flexibility - good answers can come from anyone or anywhere (and in fact, as I have mentioned, there are far more good answers 'out there' than there are in you) and 2) total accountability: regardless of where the good answers come from, it's your job to find them.
