motivational effort choices
No one can be responsible for where or how we each begin. No one has the freedom to do anything or everything, and all choices bring consequences. What we choose to do next, though, how to spend our resources or attention or effort, this is what defines us.
jobs littles faster
Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.
shame accepted
Shame must be accepted to be effective.
stories databases facts
Your positions on EVERYTHING are based on the story you tell yourself and not some universal fact from the universal fact database.
stuff quitting winner
Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right stuff at the right time.
writing boys novelists
The second person to write a story about a young boy and an escaped slave on the Mississippi wasn't a novelist, he was a typist.
great-work results tension
Great work is the result of seeking out tension, not avoiding it.
motivational information produce
The value we create is directly related to how much valuable information we can produce, how much trust we can earn, and how often we innovate.
motivational way steps
The ladder of success isn't a ladder. It's a series of steps with leaps interspersed along the way.
motivational video youtube
The YouTube video maker gets more out of making a video than you get out of watching it.
motivational emotional people
The notion that I do my work here, now, like this, even when I do not feel like it, and especially when I do not feel like it, is very important. Because lots and lots of people are creative when they feel like it, but you are only going to become a professional if you do it when you don't feel like it. And that emotional waiver is why this is your work and not your hobby.
motivational spring winning
You don't win an Olympic gold medal with a few weeks of intensive training. There's no such thing as an overnight opera sensation. Great law firms or design companies don't spring up overnight... Every great company, every great brand, and every great career has been built in exactly the same way: bit by bit, step by step, little by little.
motivational office people
Emotions are far more contagious than any disease. A smile or a panic will spread through a group of people far faster than any virus ever could. When you walk into the office or a negotiation, then, wash your bad mood away before you see us. Don't cough on us, don't sneeze on us, sure, but don't bring your grouchiness, your skepticism or your fear in here either. It might spread.
thinking self creating
The way the world works now, the way the rules of engagement operate, you can't claim to make sense out of the exterior without booking voyages into the interior. Think about it: How can you understand 'it' if you haven't made any effort to understand 'you'? Because what you're really doing is establishing a living, electrical, vital, energetic connection between it and you. You're creating both of them, simultaneously. A lot like quantum physics.
