Why?
The work day begins early for many of us, usually between 5am and 6am here. When not traveling, I work remotely, meaning from home.
It was yesterday, January 24, 2013, 8:47am (yes, 100 days ago).

Like the sensei said, we grab for what is there, but refuse to hold on. We (you and I, the USA, the World) all want peace, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. Why is it within our grasp, yet we won’t grab a hold?
Because we are heavily influenced by pleasure, power, abundance.
We take short cuts, we give people inappropriate breaks, we allow inexcusable exceptions, we get distracted, we put off until tomorrow what deep down we will never do.
