Rated PG.  This is a new segment where I'm going to be showcasing books that I'm reading, reviews, and sharing stories of how they are applicable to life.  The first book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" and it's a doozie!

Points

1.  You want new problems

2.  Failure is the path forward.  Not success.

3.  Action brings Motivation.  Not the other way around.
