Some Words of Wisdom....

...to kick off the year that will be full of jammy deliciousness...

"Human beings are the only species on earth that knowingly chooses to be less than it has the potential to be. No other living thing in nature chooses to be less than it could be. Only people do that. Did you ever see a tree grow to about six feet tall and say, 'Eh, I'm good right here.' and then stop growing? No, a tree grows to be as tall as it can be. A tree grows as many leaves as it can. A tree puts down as many roots as it can. A tree bears as much fruit as it possibly can. Trees continue to grow and produce as long as they are alive.

All plants grow to be as big as they can be. The same applies to every living thing on earth- except people. Rats, horses, pigs and dogs all grow as much as they can. Fish and worms and amoebas all do the same. Every living species grows, develops, and produces as much as it possibly can- everything except people. People are the only beings in the universe that choose to be less than they can be. They get to a point in their lives and just stop. They choose to quit learning, quit growing and quit developing. They choose to quit earning and quit producing and quit contributing. People stop growing because they CHOOSE to, not because they have to or need to or should."

-Larry Winget*

So CHOOSE it! CHOOSE for 2010 to kick 2grand9's ass!

Doesn't that sound fab?!

*just in case you are fearful that this Broad is going to go all "glass half full" and shit- odds are slim! But I will have my glass out and ready! And Larry Winget is a dude who pulls no punches. I first found him when I stumbled on his book, You're Broke Because You Want To Be.

He speaks plainly and doesn't take any shit or excuses. Just what I need!! This quote comes from his new book,

No Time For Tact. How great is that?! It's one of those "quote a day" ones. And in typical me style- this one isn't even Jan 1, it's May 1- but who cares! I'm sure there will be more Larry in the days and months to come!
