6 months later.. in January of 1939, charles darwin married.

i learned this week

"If you want your life to have impact, focus it! Stop dabbling. Stop trying to do it all. Do less. Prune away even good activities and do only that which matters most. Never confuse activity with productivity. You can be busy without a purpose, but what's the point?" -- Rick Warren


This was on the list of 50 things all 18 year olds must know, and it hit me pretty close to home. Out of everything I want of my life, I want to have impact. I want to make a difference, I still want to change the world.

FOCUS on things that matter most.
