Happiness has a very short half-life.

Just because you are embarrassed to admit that you're still living the consequences of bad decisions made 5, 10, 20 years ago shouldn't stop you from making good decisions now. If you let pride stop you, you will hate life 5, 10, and 20 years from now for the same reasons.

An entrepreneur isn't someone who owns a business, it's someone who makes things happen.

The question you should be asking isn't, "What do I want?" or "What are my goals?" but "What would excite me?

A goal without real consequences is wishful thinking. Good follow-through doesn't depend on the right intentions. It depends on the right incentives.

If it's important to you and you want to do it 'eventually', just do it and correct course along the way.
