As I eagerly awaited the arrival of Board Royale-The Island, the comments of discontent from fellow backers discouraged me. Talk of damaged components, missing cards, and months of silence from Arvis Games painted a bleak picture of what was to come. Skepticism gnawed at my excitement as the delivery date came and went, leaving me with nothing but apprehension.

The short version:

Find the one thing you really want to dedicate yourself to. Give (at least) 15 minutes to pursue that goal daily.

Develop good daily habits of nutrition, exercise, and meditation. Make time to spend with your family and friends.

Don't give up!
