What Do You Want, Really?

What you’re seeking is a powerful story and the feeling of being invincible.

More stuff won’t buy you those things.

Stop Running From Shadows

Things are hardly as daunting as they seem.

We limit ourselves so much that we hardly use 1/1,000 of the energy we possess!

The Beginning of Empathy

Believing that they’re right and then figuring out why they’re right marks the beginning of empathy.

Popular vs. Worthwhile

Popular doesn’t always mean worthwhile.

It could be popular because it’s easiest to access.

Just because it’s popular, doesn’t mean it’s for you.

Don’t Just Floss

Running a floss between the teeth is not the point.

The point is removing food particles from between the teeth and under the gemlike where toothbrushes can’t reach.

Busy is not the point.

The point is applying your skills to elevate dignity, clarity, unity, bravery, and nourishment in your little corner of the universe.

Change Tactics Regularly

Only replicate tactics if they’re still relevant in the current market.

Abandoning today’s chainsaw for yesterday’s pit saw means you’re surrendering your market share!

Say the Punchline First

When they ask for the time, don’t tell them how to build a watch.

Optimize for the Unknown

Efficiency means you’ve optimized yourself to today’s circumstances.

Resilience means you’ve optimized yourself to tomorrow’s circumstances, which are unknown.

Lean Into Tomorrow

Today’s situation is transient, so no need to get comfortable.

Set your eyes on tomorrow, which will be very different from today.

Purpose

Learning is uncomfortable, unpleasant, and extremely useful.

When you feel like turning back, remind yourself of the change you’ve dreamt to create.
