Everything you do is guided by what you think is logical in your mind. Just like everything I do is directed by my Scott LOGIC.

Is it common sense? Is it experience-based? Is it how you choose to live? Yes. But mostly, it is the filter in your mind at work.

Here are a few of my filters:

Life is long enough. But not for everybody.

Life goes quickly. But not if you're bored.

Life passes slowly when you are fishing.

Some people are too serious. Others are not serious enough. Both disagree with the other.

You must stand in another person's shoes to understand how they see you.

The reward for hard work is a chance to work more. The reward for laziness is a chance to be lazy more.

Turning off your phone means it won't ring.

Most things in life should be in moderation. Excess is good now and then.  

It takes a fraction of the time to read a good book as it does to write one. That makes reading a book a good investment of your time.

People who read more good books earn more money. People who don't read don't understand why others earn more.

Saying "I don't care" means you do - at least about something.

Everything you experience is filtered through what you hold as the truth. Choose what you hold carefully.
