I'm not even going to pretend that I'm ever going to do this again, that I'll ever make this list again, or that this will become a weekly thing. But, for this Sunday, I'm sharing a few things that I've been reading when I'm not mindlessly refreshing Twitter.
"There isn’t an audacious type. We’ve all got it, the audacity to do the things no one believes we can, we’ve just got to unearth it."
-I Wasn't the Exercise 'Type' -- Until I Was by xo, Jane
"Growing up, we were told by guidance counselors, career advice books, the news media and others to 'follow our passion.' This advice assumes that we all have a pre-existing passion waiting to be discovered. If we have the courage to discover this calling and to match it to our livelihood, the thinking goes, we’ll end up happy. If we lack this courage, we’ll end up bored and unfulfilled — or, worse, in law school."
Follow a Career Passion? Let it Follow You by Cal Newport
"Those of you who walk around telling everyone how busy you are, get a grip. Make some tough choices and calm down. There’s a big difference between a busy day and a full day."
Don't Tell Me You're Busy by Penelope Trunk
"At 41, she’s the youngest woman to join this year’s Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list without help from a husband or an inheritance. She is part of a tiny, elite club of American women worth ten figures on their own, including Oprah Winfrey and Meg Whitman."
Sara Blakely: Youngest Self-Made Woman to Join the Forbes Billionaires Club
"So write... Not like a girl. Not like a boy. Write like a motherfucker."
by Sugar.
And now, I'm off to catch up on episodes of the Daily Show, do a little journal-ing, and write (like a motherfucker). What do you guys do when you're not refreshing Twitter?
