Unfortunately, I think it's an anecdotal myth. If you find the source, let me know. I searched for a good 20 minutes before giving up, but I liked the story anyway. I wish I knew.

Love this post. My 2 cents is that we are often so in love with the "future" of an idea, we have no idea what it feels like to be "present" with one. How about just "this day." And then the next. Set your sights, your goals, and experience each step in the now. Then success and failure are all just information. Learning. What do you think? Yes! Love this post.
