“Unless you live con­sis­tent with your deep­est val­ues, you’ll achieve but still lack the ulti­mate ful­fill­ment you truly deserve.“
– Anthony Robbins

“The secret to suc­cess and hap­pi­ness is to trans­late your val­ues into every­day life.“
– Hyrum Smith

Every­body has a set of deep core val­ues that gov­erns a person’s actions and a per­son can never ignore his core val­ues. When con­fronted with emer­gen­cies, pres­sure, impor­tant deci­sions, or chal­leng­ing sit­u­a­tions, the actions he invari­ably takes will directly stem from his per­sonal set of values.

“Do not mea­sure your life by your goals but what you are actu­ally doing to achieve them.“
– Peter Drucker

“The ulti­mate goal of life is death — the expe­ri­ence of life is where the value is, not the results we achieve.“

When peo­ple refer to pro­duc­tive­ness, they usu­ally refer to “busy-​​ness.” Pos­i­tive pro­duc­tiv­ity, on the other hand, is the result of doing what’s impor­tant and will hinge greatly on how well you adhere to this process of align­ment. Align­ment can also help you to dis­cover not only what you need to do but also pro­vide you with short­cuts as well.

– Ger­ald Jampolsky

The earth was once thought to be the cen­ter of the universe.

After 12 long years of work­ing seven days a week, I’ve made a deci­sion. I’m tak­ing tomor­row off.

Sounds strange? Well, I’ve had vaca­tions. Many of them. And I’ve taken half-​​days off, here and there. Some­times, I’ve even taken whole days off. But I would still check my email in the morn­ing, or return to my com­puter at night.

Aside from my vaca­tions, I’ve not taken an entire day off in over a decade. I mean, a full 24 hours with­out doing any work, includ­ing using the com­puter even if it’s to surf the web.
