Those "seemingly" interesting detours on our path to Greatness
-SOLtots........
Champ! It's easy to distract yourself with all sorts of meaningless diversions, but it's much better to challenge yourself to create meaningful value.
Diversions can be interesting, informative and enjoyable, and they certainly have their place. But don't let them steal large chunks of your life away from you.
If no one, including yourself, benefits from what you're doing, it's time to change what you're doing. Make the choice to value your time by making the choice to get real value from it.
You are worthy of the very best in life. So step away from the meaningless diversions, and work to create the very best, most fulfilling moments, days, months and years.
Be curious, filled with wonder, and open to all the beauty that life has to offer. At the same time, be continuously purposeful and focused on creating meaningful value.
Life is amazing. Make the most of every opportunity to make it even more so.

So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
