While we can’t predict what’s going to be remarkable next time, we can realize that there aren’t too many unexplored areas of innovation—just unexplored combinations.
I learned a very important lesson from this: most of our suffering comes from avoidance. Most of the suffering from a cold shower is the tip-toeing your way in. Once you’re in, you’re in. It’s not suffering. It’s just cold. Your body saying it’s cold is different than your mind saying it’s cold. Acknowledge your body saying it’s cold. Look at it. Deal with it. Accept it, but don’t mentally suffer over it. Taking a cold shower for two minutes isn’t going to kill you.
Having a cold shower helps you re-learn that lesson every morning. Now hot showers are just one less thing I need out of life.

Most business owners are *not* competing on price or value. In fact, they’re not actually competing on anything at all. Their pricing process typically goes something like this:
1. Look at marketplace
2. See what everyone else offers
3. Take the average
4. Go slightly below to remain “competitive”
5. Provide what their competitors offers with a “little more”
6. End up at a value proposition of “more for less”
And the big secret: those competitors they are copying are dead broke. *So why on earth* *copy them?*
