A drive to “try and do something, you don’t know whether you can!”
How do you know what it is – unless you really have figured it out?
Jonh Macguire explains what it means to him…

A good reference for all those who live one life out of the profession they choose… and for all those who wish to explore and experience absolute freedom!

It is true. The trouble most of us face is “dealing with small problems”. The ones – very easy to find and fix. But takes lower priority in the ever growing list of to dos… ABCs, GTDs and the rest of dealing with life!
Small problems grow with time. If I’m driving the wrong way at present, then simply accelerating at every sign post will only give me a long distance to return – when and If, I do eventually turn around!
It is wise to take a quick small step of stopping and reflecting to fix/ eliminate small problems even when we are busy handling really big ones!
Lot of businesses are thriving today due to our habit of letting small problems grow! For example – Dentists who thrive on those ignored scales/cavities when they are small; Credit card companies making money due to small mistakes in complying with due dates by regular paying customers; Automobile Shops, Beauty Clinics, Insurance Companies…. and so on….!
But,
We all know… A Spark Neglected Burns The House!

The contented man can be happy with what appears to be useless.
He can find worthwhile occupation in forests and mountains.
He stays in a small cottage and associates with the simple.
He would not exchange his work clothes for the imperial robes,
Nor the load on his back for a four-horse carriage.
He leaves the jade in the mountains and the pearls in the sea.
Wherever he goes, whatever he does, he can be happy –
he knows when to stop.
He does not pick the brief-blossoming flower;
he does not travel the dangerous road.
To him, the ten thousand possessions are dust in the wind.
He sings as he travels among the green mountains.

It is so true – that we all have one life and a complete lifetime for turning this privilege into a remarkable one – only when we are contented…
