What if you could spend both your work and personal life in The Zone? Created by Bruce Kasanoff, author of How to Self-Promote without Being a Jerk, available here: goo.gl/xP6F3Z

1. How to
Love Life
As Much As
Surfers Love
Surfing

2. Sad fact: most people live life in a fog…

3. They do not treasure every
moment.
They do not pay attention.

4. Imagine that you could experience every
moment of your life like a surfer does in
the water…

5. I am talking about being in The Zone.

6. {Impossible to think about your
car payments now.}

9. Surfers are always on the
verge of failure, but all
they care about are the
triumphs.

10. Failure hurts, a lot.

11. But joy and failure dwell in
exactly the same space…

12. So they return to that space again and
again.

13. They have no choice. It is what they love.

15. When they fail, they do not quit.

16. If their board
breaks, they buy
another.

17. When other people run
away from the storm,
they run towards it.

18. Now take this
attitude and apply
it to your life.

19. Try to feel
deeply every
moment.

20. Do not fear the
place where joy
and failure dwell.
Go for the joy, as
many times as it
takes.

21. Pay attention to
the miracles of
life.

22. Give love as
readily as you
check your
smartphone.

23. And when you get
a chance to play
with your kids,
always take it.

group on LinkedIn.

spend at least ten minutes
of every day silently doing
nothing at all.)
