No one does. No one is a rock star, superstar, world-changing artist all the time. In fact, it’s a self-defeating goal. You can’t do it.</p> <p>No, but you might rock five minutes a day.</p> <p>Five minutes to write a blog post that changes everything, or five minutes to deliver an act of generosity that changes someone. Five minutes to invent a great new feature, or five minutes to teach a groundbreaking skill in a way that no one ever thought of before. Five minutes to tell the truth (or hear the truth).</p> <p>Five minutes a day you might do exceptional work, remarkable work, work that matters. Five minutes a day you might defeat the lizard brain long enough to stand up and make a difference.</p> <p>And five minutes of rocking would be enough, because it would be five minutes more than just about anyone else.”</p>http://blog.yayjessica.com/post/435327278http://blog.yayjessica.com/post/435327278Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:55:26 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyz9edx4c21qznfx3o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>more reasons i want a pup. and yes i would be this loyal. for sure.</p> <p>via <a href="http://fatkidatcamp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/loyalty.jpg">fatkidatcamp.com</a></p> <p>(thanks pj)</p>http://blog.yayjessica.com/post/435077567http://blog.yayjessica.com/post/435077567Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:13:25 -0500<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyz4rwos231qznfx3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>those stormtroopers have ALL the fun!</p> <p><a href="http://wildammo.com/2009/08/09/what-stormtroopers-do-on-their-day-off/">What Stormtroopers do on Their Day Off | WildAmmo.com</a></p> <p>(thanks AV & JV)</p>http://blog.yayjessica.com/post/434946121http://blog.yayjessica.com/post/434946121Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:33:32 -0500<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HiyJeGN5Iz0&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HiyJeGN5Iz0&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>dear god.
