Create Joy First and Your Health Follow

Image
What is it to be a bum? Is it dropping everything to cut fresh lines in three feet of 4% powder, slapping on a perma-grin as you ski down a mountainside; or is it spending years developing a business idea through hard work and passionate dedication, and finally building a successful product? My answer to this: Yes! Becoming a bum is the journey of developing a passion for something that has so much influence on your decision-making that you’re willing to improve your character, expand skill sets, strengthen mental immunity, and do whatever it takes to be successful at something….. that creates Joy .

A little fear is actually a good thing. Fear keeps us from riding our motorcycles without a helmet. Fear reminds us to put a boiling pot of water outside the reach of any small hands. Fear keeps us from giving into momentary anger by reminding us about the consequences of our actions—before we suffer those consequences. .
