“Instead of your spirit animal, what is your spirit plant?”
“Rhododendron. Requires very specific conditions, but even when those conditions are met, it is unlikely to thrive.”

As I was riding through the streets of New York today, I noticed how calm the city looked.
It’s Memorial Day, and most people have the day off and are taking it easy.
And since it’s such a calm and reflective day, I wanted to share some deep and reflective stuff with you.
It’s a fraction of a 13-year-old Ted talk given by Tony Robbins.
Says Tony, there are two master lessons in life.
One is the science of achievement.
That’s what most of us focus on all the time: “How do you make your dreams happen? Your business, your contribution to society, money — whatever, your body, your family.”
The second is the art of fulfillment.
That, according to Tony, is about appreciation and contribution.
And like the rhododendron fail-to-thriver above, many of us don’t do too much about this second master lesson, even if we have all the resources we might want or need.
The point being, its never too early to start thinking about how to appreciate, enjoy yourself, and give back. These aren’t things you should wait to do until you achieve some massive level of success.
Of course, if you are like me, then mastering the art of fulfillment won’t come too easy…
And it might take time.
That’s why you might as well get started on it now.
So no pitch from me for today.
But in case you want a whirlwind overview of the magical world of success and fulfillment, courtesy of Tony Robbins, here’s the link to that Ted talk:
