Recently, I’ve started noticing these stickers everywhere. They remind me of a great piece of life advice John Assaraf recently shared with me, encouraging me to make a shift in how I spend my time. A thread runs through this simple sticker and John Assaraf’s words: simply put, spend more time pursuing your passions than you spend toiling on tasks you despise and you will enjoy a higher quality of life. By pursuing things you’re passionate about, you end up working faster and smarter towards its achievement. It also is simply less stressful.
I got a little curious about where these cool stickers are coming from, and I came across CloudStar.com. Cloud Star makes natural dog treats and hypoallergenic grooming products for dogs. They also give at least 10% of what they make to non-profit organizations because they believe “doing good business should include doing good things for others”. I think this little sticker just got cooler.
Start. Stop. Turn.
Stop. Go fast. Run.
Jump. Backpedal. Think.
Twist. Get depressed. Pull yourself up.
Build a team. Fall down. Get up.
Take another step. Get you footing. Build something real.
And never ever doubt that you will make it.
