Leaps of Faith: Can We Afford Not to Take Them?
Some people go their whole life without taking a risk, without straying from the path they're on, no matter how unpleasant it is. Others leap from one adventure to the next, seemingly with no need for security or routine. Most of us, though, fall somewhere in the middle.

Do What You Do Best and Outsource the Rest
For most of us, our main goal at home is to maintain loving relationships in a warm, comfortable living space. But by spending time and energy working on the living space, we lose precious time to focus on the relationships. If you calculated how much time you or your partner spent cleaning, or how much stress it cost to let the mess build up, you would probably hire a housekeeper the very next day. That's why outsourcing makes so much sense--we get to do what we do best (and love to do the most), and outsource the rest.
