3、l life. i call this normal because this is how 99% of all people that i know live. after years of living a normal life, you get the hang of it. you know what to say and do to keep your job. you also know what time you can wake up so you can barely make it on time to work. i know because those though

4、ts went through my mind when i had a job i didnt like. and every week, id set the alarm a little later. i was also ready to leave work when that clock hit 5pm on the dot. human beings are smart. we adapt quickly. and thats exactly our biggest problem. we easily get trapped into what i call the excit

5、ement and acceptance cycle. most of my life went like this: a new thing can be anything: a new job, goal, desire, relationship. you get excited about something, but after a while, you always get into an acceptance phase. and thats what i want to avoid because acceptance means stagnation, which means

7、t. and just cruise. you can easily go through life without personal growth. theres nothing wrong with that. but that doesnt work for me, personally, for one reason: i think a life of only entertainment is useless. but still, ive stagnated many times in life. and im sure i will stagnate again at some

8、 point. but heres the thing: if you stay put for too long, your situation gets worse. theres no such thing as protecting the status quo. the famous actress and philanthropist, helen hayes, who was one of only 12 people who have won an emmy, a grammy, an oscar and a tony award, said it best: if you r

9、est, you rust. those five words capture the essence of progress and why it matters. and if look at my own life, i can give you many examples to demonstrate that. when i started my first business, i learned a lot during the first two years, but my growth stopped after that because i didnt understand
