“

No one ever innovated while working on what they were supposed to be working on. It can be difficult to accept that a well-designed task list represents everything that you should not do, if you want a creative outcome.

But for predictable outcomes, there’s no substitute for practice, planning, and extreme discipline.

Our world needs both.

“If you ever have the chance to lose everything in your life, some of it voluntarily, and leave your current place to live in a succession of new places, hosted by friends, never really knowing what’s next or if that person you just met will have an impact on your life because each connection is blazing with this almost visible energy and the connections keep winding tighter and tighter, faster and faster, I suggest you take the opportunity and enjoy the ride, even if you have to learn, maybe for the first time, what it means to enjoy any ride.”

"We are all many things. We all do many things. We will do many more things throughout our lives...."

Thu, 23 Apr 2015 13:27:20 -0400

“We are all many things. We all do many things. We will do many more things throughout our lives. Yet, when we are gone, most will primarily remember only one of them. They will pick from the lot and remember you as that. What they pick will, in their mind at least, be all that you are. Therefore, it is our job to ask ourselves with all the things we allow ourselves to do, with each and every one, “Is this something I want to be remembered for?””

“So called ‘late-bloomers’ get a bad rap. Sometimes the people with the greatest potential often take the longest to find their path because their sensitivity is a double edged sword- it lives at the heart of their brilliance, but it also makes them more susceptible to life’s pains. Good thing we aren’t being penalized for handing in our purpose late. The soul doesn’t know a thing about deadlines.”
