We’re all susceptible to work-related stress and fatigue, and those of us who are really career driven may be even more likely to burnout. If you already feel exhausted and unmotivated (or close to it), here’s how to bounce back.
We’ve featured a guide to handling burnout before, as well as tips on recognizing the signs of burnout, and even how to avoid tech burnout. A blog post by Dr. Sherrie Bourg Carter at Psychology Today offers 10 steps that complement what we know about dealing with burnout, and also focuses on the end goal for many high achievers: to regain that spark and enthusiasm you once had.
Among the important reminders:
And, perhaps most important, try to rediscover your passion. Check out this link for the rest of her tips or share your burnout-busting advice in the comments

A recent Harvard study discovered that people are happiest when fully engaged in activities and least joyful when daydreaming, no matter the task.
Researchers can’t explain their results, but study author Mathew Killingsworth guesses the answer is age old:
“If you look at Buddhism and meditation, they’re based on staying in the moment to acheive happiness. Daydreaming takes you away from accomplishing what you need to be doing and allows you to dwell on negative thoughts.”
You can help increase your focus, and thereby your happiness, by taking a tablespoon daily of omega-3-rich fish oil, which studies show can boost concentration.

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs
How do you feel about your life today? Are you living every day in exuberance? Do you love what you’re doing? Are you excited every single moment? Are you looking forward to what’s coming up next? Are you living your best life?
If your answer to any of the above is a no, maybe or not sure, that means you’re not living your life to the fullest. Which really shouldn’t be the case, because your life experience is up to you to create.
Why settle for anything less than what you can get? You deserve nothing but the best. In the past years of my life, especially since after I pursued my passion in ’08, I’ve been living every day to the fullest, filled with joy, passion and rigor. It’s an amazing experience that I want you to experience that too.
This is a list of 101 timeless principles I use to live my best life, and I hope they’ll help you to do so too. As you live in alignment with them, you’ll find yourself becoming more conscious, more alive, and more importantly, experiencing life on a whole new level. Be sure to bookmark or even print out this page and refer to it daily to guide you to your best life. 
Here are 101 ways to live your life to the fullest…

Before there was John Paulson or Eddie Lampert, there was Michael Steinhardt — one of the first, and most successful, hedge fund titans. From the late ’60s through the mid-’90s, Steinhardt’s hedge fund compounded money at 24% annually after fees. He’s a legend.
Blogger Barry Ritholtz dug up a list of Steinhardt’s six rules of success from an old speech he gave. Here they are, along with a few of my comments:
1. Make all your mistakes early in life: The more tough lessons you learn early on, the fewer (bigger) errors you make later. A common mistake of all young investors is to be too trusting with brokers, analysts, and newsletters who are trying to sell you something.
Let’s explain this photographically: You want to be Bill Gates here, not Ken Lay here.
In a recent interview, Steve Forbes asked Warren Buffett what made him so different. According to Buffett:
Well, I was lucky that I got started early. My dad happened to be in the investment business, so I would go down to his office on Saturdays. At age 7 or so I started reading these books that were around the place. I knew what I wanted to do early. That’s a huge advantage.
2. Always make your living doing something you enjoy: Devote your full intensity for success over the long-term.
One of the most incredible quotes I’ve come across is from an interview with Chatroulette’s eighteen-year-old founder Andrey Ternovskiy. Asked if he’d ever sell his blossoming company, Ternovskiy said, “I’d sell for the sake of becoming rich, and the first thing I’d do if I were rich, I’d buy something. I’d make an investment … [and] that investment would be buying Chatroulette.”
Hard to go wrong when you’re that passionate about your job.
3. Be intellectually competitive: Do constant research on subjects that make you money. Plow through the data so as to be able to sense a major change coming in the macro situation.
Says Peter Lynch: “I’ve always believed that searching for companies is like looking for grubs under rocks: if you turn over 10 rocks you’ll likely find one grub; if you turn over 20 rocks you’ll find two. During [some market stretches], I had to turn over thousands of rocks …”
4. Make good decisions even with incomplete information: Investors never have all the data they need before they put their money at risk. Investing is all about decision-making with imperfect information. You will never have all the info you need. What matters is what you do with the information you have. Do your homework and focus on the facts that matter most in any investing situation.
In 2007, value investor Mohnish Pabrai lost nearly all of his investment in Delta Financial after the company went bankrupt. Asked about the loss, he replied: “Investing is a game of probability. Sometimes when you make favorable bets, you still lose them.” Asked if he’d do it the same way if he could do it over again, he said bluntly, “It was a good bet.”
The lack of perfect information ensures that you’ll never find the perfect investment. Acting when the odds are in your favor is the best you can do — even if you end up losing.
5. Always trust your intuition: Intuition is more than just a hunch — it resembles a hidden supercomputer in the mind that you’re not even aware is there. It can help you do the right thing at the right time if you give it a chance. Over time, your own trading experience will help develop your intuition, so that major pitfalls can be avoided.
I’m not disagreeing, but it’s important to know the limits of your intuition. Here’s a strong rebuttal from an unrelated Barry Ritholtz article:
You’re a monkey. It all comes down to that. You are a slightly clever, pants-wearing primate. If you forget that you’re nothing more than a monkey who has been fashioned by eons on the plains, being chased by tigers, you shouldn’t invest. You have to be aware of how your own psychology effects [sic] what you do. This is why we as investors sell at the bottom, get panicked … Every good financial decision I’ve made comes from, “Wait a second, monkey boy, step back, don’t do that.” Once you realize how your own brain chemistry works against you, it gives you a chance to not panic at the bottom.
6. Don’t make small investments: You only have so much time and energy when you put your money in play. So, if you’re going to put money at risk, make sure the reward is high enough to justify it.
According to Charlie Munger: “If you take the whole history of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B), and you take out the 20 best transactions, our record is a joke.” The capital gains alone from just three of Berkshire’s investments — Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG), and American Express (NYSE: AXP) — come to nearly $20 billion, or 10% of the company’s current market cap. And that doesn’t include dividends.

From Time.com:
People say money doesn’t buy happiness. Except, according to a new study from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School, it sort of does — up to about $75,000 a year.
The lower a person’s annual income falls below that benchmark, the unhappier he or she feels. But
no matter how much more than $75,000 people make, they don’t report any greater degree of happiness.
Before employers rush to hold — or raise — everyone’s salary to $75,000, the study points out that there are actually two types of happiness.
There’s your changeable, day-to-day mood: whether you’re stressed or blue or feeling emotionally sound.
Then there’s the deeper satisfaction you feel about the way your life is going — the kind of thing Tony Robbins tries to teach you.
While having an income above the magic $75,000 cutoff doesn’t seem to have an impact on the former (emotional well-being), it definitely improves people’s Robbins-like life satisfaction.
In other words, the more people make above $75,000, the more they feel their life is working out on the whole.
But it doesn’t make them any more jovial in the mornings.

Time flies. Life is what you make of it. Everyday is a day of opportunity. Think it. Seek it. Find it. Live it.
Life is too short not to make the best and the most
of everything that comes your way everyday.

A girl half my age selling organic soap hit me with a sobering truth so insightful, it made me abandon five years of false beliefs and unlock a powerful new philosophy of financial abundance.
I’m sharing that breakthrough financial philosophy with you here, but it’s 
only something you’ll find valuable if you’re ready to let go of false limitations about money and welcome real, lasting change in attracting the money you deserve into your life.
The girl sells soap. Natural soap. It’s the best soap I’ve ever found, and she was selling it at prices so cheap, it might have well been the brand-name chemical soap you buy at the grocery store.
I asked her, “Why are you selling this soap so cheaply? It’s worth three times the price…” And in her response, I learned that she didn’t really value her soap… or herself. She was selling her soap too cheaply because she didn’t feel like she deserved to charge the prices her soap was really worth!
She was limiting her financial abundance by choice. Like many of us, she had unconsciously decided that her contribution to the world (her soap) wasn’t worth much, and she had resigned to a life of financial challenges, living from one paycheck to the next, never achieving the real financial independence or wealth she truly deserved.
And yet her soap was among the best natural soaps in the world. Why shouldn’t she be at least as wealthy as the executives at Proctor & Gamble who sell junk soap? (This is a good question to ask yourself, too: Don’t you deserve more wealth than the corrupt Big Pharma executives who sell drugs that harm children? Of course you do!)
Imagine my shock when she turned the tables on me and asked, “So what about YOU, Health Ranger? I read your website. You’ve helped a hundreds of companies and millions of readers, but you don’t allow yourself to make a dime, either. Why’s that?”
Next: Getting past self-imposed limits on wealth…

What does the below video clip, from L’Ours (or in English, The Bear) — a movie made in 1988 with almost no human dialogue, about an orphaned bear cub who is adopted by an adult male bear — have to do with investing or money?
Well, nothing, really.
It was just passed on to me last night, from a new friend and mega business man who has heart: Jay Peters, from The Credit Secrets Bible.
As he said in his email to me: “Try to find wildlife footage to top this!” You’ll be captivated by the scenery, and the little bear’s sounds… not to mention the almost human-like emotions displayed as he’s running from the cougar.
