Quotable: Why What ‘Almost’ Happened Is Irrelevant
by Mike Richard
Don’t almost take your trip of a lifetime. Don’t almost quit your job, or your relationship, or whatever’s holding you back to follow your dreams.
What almost happened is irrelevant. What actually did happen is everything.

Argh … just when I thought I could get away with maintaining a shred of normalcy in my life, I realize I must to surrender to that voice that’s telling me to let it all go.
Or is that like some kind of almost-midlife crisis!?! Hard to tell.
