I actually follow most of these mantras in my life - I've been self-employed or in a team no biggie than four. I stopped giving a shit some time in 2007 and I refuse to take photographs of things I'm enjoying (mostly). Life should be met with a light heart and a ready wit - and the Universe doesn't notice or care. That's the best thing about the universe. I'm carrying on being quietly myself and it's working well for me, I'm a lot happier than some of the wealthy 'successful' people I know. Great advice. :o)
