totally agree


But I think it's because a lot of people aren't proactive about life. Of course being lucky helps too- but luck, isn't that mostly preparation meeting opportunity...

and yet it's easier said than done... being proactive means facing fears head on

I've always loved this quote

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little- death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

also, a great little piece just posted by Tim Ferriss
