Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine. It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

Whether it helps, inspires, or motivates one person or one hundred, every good deed, display of selflessness & act of kindness matters.
And whether it’s the result of a conscious effort or simply a reflexive gesture, every person who acts with integrity and sets a good example for others to follow becomes a catalyst for positive change.
We often betray ourselves when we give more weight to criticism from people we neither know or respect than we give to practical advice & positive feedback from people we do.
What you choose to dwell on can have a dramatic impact on how you feel. So it makes sense to pay attention to what you pay attention to and give more power to the things that are good for you than you give to those that are not.
Hi Folks,
As promised, here’s my much-awaited update telling you how to save up to 71% off of Lessons Learned From The Path Less Traveled Volume 1!
As you may know, I gave away $26,000 worth of books for free on April 17th this year. This time around, I’m hoping to make at least a couple dollars for my effort.
If you are one of the people who were able to get a copy of my book for free — and you found value in it — it would be great if you took a moment to leave a review.
Starting on August 1 at 12 AM (PDT) I will be running a 7-day promotion on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
On day 1 of the promotion, my book will be available for $2.99 (71% off!). The next day, the price will increase to $3.99 and will continue to increase in price every 33 hours until the last day of the promotion on August 7, 11:59 PM (PDT).

Other news:
Remember that cross-country trip I mentioned a few months ago? It’s still happening. :) I will be traveling across the United States, writing & vlogging about the experience as well as seeking to meet and interview folks for a Youtube video series & podcast and content for a future book. You can see my casting call at: FromThePathLessTraveled.com for more details.
I’m excited to get going! My current estimate has me departing southern California in the first week of August. I’ll have much more news about this in the coming weeks.
Until then, if you want to do me a favor, please let anyone you think might be interested in a copy of my book know about the upcoming promotion!
Thanks for reading!
I hope my note finds you having a fantastic day.

The fact that you’ve probably never enjoyed listening to anyone else complain is a pretty solid sign that no one enjoys listening to you do it either.
Help stamp out rampant complaining.
Always focus on solutions and what is within your power to change.
Even just changing your message from, “This is a problem!” to “This is a problem and I want to fix it.” changes your tone, implies there is a real purpose for your message and invites a discussion for solutions.

When one’s motivation is dependent on external sources, the moment those sources are absent is the moment one’s motivation begins to fade. This is because motivation is a state of mind.
And if a particular state of one’s mind is dependent on the availability of things it doesn’t always have control over, it can be difficult to attain the state of mind associated with those things when they’re unavailable.
This is why it’s important to learn how to develop the mental discipline necessary to be one’s own source of motivation. When one is able to motivate themselves, they light a kind of fire that can burn indefinitely.
