inspirational running goal
Life is like skiing. Just like skiing, the goal is not to get to the bottom of the hill. It's to have a bunch of good runs before the sun sets.
art inspirational-life ideas
Seizing new ground, making connections between people or ideas, working without a map-these are works of art, and if you do them, you are an artist, regardless of whether you wear a smock, use a computer, or work with others all day long.
inspirational marketing social-media
Conversations among the members of your marketplace happen whether you like it or not. Good marketing encourages the right sort of conversations.
inspirational mean sacrifice
As the amount of inputs go up, as the number of people and ideas that clamor for attention continue to increase, we do what people always do: we rely on the familiar, the trusted and the personal. The incredible surplus of digital data means that human actions, generosity and sacrifice are more important than they ever were before.
inspirational purpose starting
The only purpose of starting is to finish
inspirational emotional advantage
Emotional labor is available to all of us, but it is rarely exploited as a competitive advantage.
inspirational inspiration enemy
How do I dance with the fear? Fear is not the enemy. Paralysis is the enemy.
inspirational fear smart
Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person.
inspirational business trying
If you are deliberately trying to create a future that feels safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely.
inspirational real media
The media wants overnight successes (so they have someone to tear down). Ignore them. Ignore the early adopter critics that never have enough to play with. Ignore your investors that want proven tactics and predictable instant results. Listen instead to your real customers, to your vision and make something for the long haul. Because that's how long it's going to take, guys.
inspirational change too-late
Change almost never fails because it's too early. It almost always fails because it's too late.
inspirational goal support
Set a goal, and in small, consistent steps, work to reach it. Get support from your peers when you start flagging. Repeat. You will change.
attitude inspirational-life artist
Being an artist isn't a genetic disposition or a specific talent. It's an attitude we can all adopt. It's a hunger to seize new ground, make connections, and work without a map. If you do those things, you're an artist.
inspirational bravery trying
If it scares you, it might be a good thing to try.
