There’s a mentality in our culture that being a good neighbor means you don’t bother anyone who lives close to you. That’s passive neighboring, not good neighboring. Being a good neighbor means you think ahead, initiate, and deepen relationships with those around you. It means you’re often the first one to knock on the front door. It means you’re proactive.
- Rather than contemplating on what new camera to buy or lens, just go out and shoot with what you already got. I’ve found the best cure to GAS is to just go out and shoot, as once you fall into the “flow” of shooting, you totally disregard what camera you’re shooting with.

- Do I need this?
- Why do I have it?
- Is it easily replaced?
- What would I use if I didn’t have it?

As we contemplate the next phase of our lives, we have decided to sell our house and move into our RV for a year. Today we decided on our approximately route. If we don’t want to travel more than 300 in a day, we need only move once every couple weeks to complete the circuit in a year. #feelingexcited
Seth Godin in the dip:
The next time you catch yourself being average when you feel like quitting, realize that you have only two good choices: Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.
