Don't make someone a priority if they only make you an option.
...because really, there isn't enough time in the day to waste on people like that.

A good song for dancing, a good song for dreaming
Didn't realize the song I heard at Mandela Day was featured in (500) Days of Summer. Only more reason to like the film. (:
Beautiful.
Beautiful.

How deep is your love?
Excuse the cheesy, heart-ridden video. This is more for the sake of a beautiful cover of a great song. Real update, with real words to come soon.

The short of it.
And in the end, validation of this kind is so surreal that (and this is cheesy) my heart can't stop smiling.

Best nuggets of advice
...and yes, I just said "nuggets." So I'm reading this book:
and I'm finding lots of bits of inspiration in it, many quotable things, so I thought I would share:
"A number of people said they were simply in the right place at the right time. Many of our respondents, Don Hewitt among them, used the word lucky when describing the arc of their lives or careers. While they may have indeed been fortunate in different ways, we should take this as a sign that they're thankful for their success - that they understand the value of humility. Most people understand that chance favors the prepared. Hard work, risk taking, refusing to quite, and the will to get to the next waypoint no matter how formidable the obstacles appeared helped to define these people." ...as stated in the introduction.
"Stop working for a living and start designing a life." ...as stated by Tony Robbins.
"The important thing to know is that one thing that was really beneficial to me was my naivete ... Those who need certainty don't do anything, because nothing is ever certain." ...as stated by Survivor creator Mark Burnett.
"The key to achieving success in business is passion. Don't approach the business with a formula or just expecting to make a quick buck. You must have a desire. A vision. And then go at it hammer and tongs." ...as stated by Steve Forbes.
...and I'm just four chapters in.
