SERIOUS QUOTE“Focus on your likes, not your wants.You may not want to exercise, but you like how it makes you feel.You may not want to write, but you like the feeling of accomplishment.You may not want to wake up early, but you like the calm beauty of morning.Wanting is the desire you feel before doing something. Liking is the satisfaction you feel after doing something. Let your likes guide you.” —James Clear

FUNNY QUOTE – “Forecasting trends is easy – just pick something random, wait 10 years, and pretend you saw it coming all along!”
