1. Private chef / dinner party scene is picking up the pace in NYC.  A more personal touch to a meal and SO fun to be a part of.

2. Energy is absolutely contagious.

3.  Successful people continue to face new challenges - as opposed to repeatedly dealing with the same ones over and over again.

4.  Done is better than perfect.

5. A personal introduction to someone you'd like to meet, by someone you know makes all the difference.  Thanks to the 2nd degree of separation feature on LinkedIn and to those who have made these important intros for me; I truly appreciate it.

6. When one links job satisfaction to financial compensation alone, they're never paid "enough." Yet, when they see "work" as a way to dance with life, meet new people, and unleash the creative tiger within, they become very rich, indeed. 

7. A community that values sharing unused items with neighbors instead of passing them along to the garbage truck has real value both to the environment and to each other - financially and socially.  Carroll Gardens is good at this :)

8. Bicycle commuting is the simplest way to add some fun, extra time, calories burned, and fresh air to your day-to-day.  If you are not already a lover of two wheels, try it!

9. Designing short-term experiments for yourself are a helpful way to try out a new activity, increase your productivity, or take first steps at an area of your life you'd like to improve upon.  And if it doesn't work... well, it was an experiment that provided a learning opportunity :)

10. “Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.” ― Og Mandino

Feeling energized, can you tell?
