How to Live a Life of Daring-Do

 

Step 1

When an opportunity comes along, take it.

When an interesting person comes along, have a conversation.

When something goes wrong, learn from it.

When you have a question, find the answer.

When things are going well, celebrate.

When things are going badly, celebrate.

When you discover a solution, share it with the world.

When things are not as they should be, change them.

Step 2

Write about these things.

Simple advice, and very true.... amazing how difficult it seems to be to actually live it!

Simple and meaningful. Take risks and enjoy! Well written Colin!

Short post but worthwhile message!

good stuff. i like the last one, when things aren't as they should be - change them. We should all have this courage.

when you encounter yellow snow, don't eat it.

I always celebrate when things go badly, never had a reason before now but ya know - failure is just a bump on the way to success :) or a reason to drink wine - you pick!

I should read this every day immediately after I wake up. That's how good it is. Short and sweet is my favorite.

Step 2 is so important; how else will the answers, conversations, celebrations, etc. make it "out there" to spawn even more step 1's?

Congrats on the 31 posts in 31 days!

Simple, prescriptive, and effective ... perfect.

Amazing post, it should be a must read for the first time visitors. Contratz Colin!

Great post. My favorite one is: "When things are going badly, celebrate."

;o)

Congrats on your goal Colin--writing once a day, every day during the month of March!

I think the writing about these things stage is key here. It's one thing to do them, but for people who are remotely like me, if there is no reminder that we did them, they cease to feel like events. And they are. They all are. Little mini events that mark and trim (like a tree!) our progress, growth, and experiences.

Aww. So thoughtful. Celebrate! (Ps. I miss my party buddy! I got up this morning! Dance party!)

Absolutely love it. It's all so simple, yet we take it for granted. Step 2 is the best part!
