Motivational Boosters 3/1/10

Quote for the week –
“Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential.”
– Sir Winston Churchill

Weekly Timbit –
I recently read a survey that said (I am always suspect of surveys but here it is anyway) 70% of the population (USA) wanted more than anything else to simplify their lives. Yet these same very people keep buying more and faster toys and stuff. Interesting paradox. We have been led to believe that more makes it easier. Faster makes it easier. I don’t think so. Everywhere you look, life is getting more and more complicated. While on the surface technology may appear to simplify your life there are always tradeoffs. What are some of the factors that seem to be moving your life faster and making it more complicated?

Weekly Question –
Where do you need to simplify your life?
