"If you think in terms of surface area, it's easy to see why we are so anxious, stressed, and constantly behind. ..."

"A kind person will tell us what holds us back, even when it’s uncomfortable. A nice person avoids giving us critical feedback because they’re worried about hurting our feelings."

"The courage to start.
The discipline to focus.
The confidence to figure it out.
The patience to know progress is not always visible.
The persistence to keep going, even on the bad days.

That's the formula."

"Even a genius looks ordinary if circumstances force them into a bad position.

The best position themselves to win before the game even starts."

"Just because the cost of inaction is invisible doesn't mean it's not real.

What happens if you don't take action?

Nothing.

Action is expensive, but inaction costs a fortune."

The best are the best no matter where:

"The people who didn't do any work at home never did any work in the office. ... Hard workers are hard workers no matter where they operate."

"If someone admits they made a mistake, have the grace to let it go.

Holding it over them ensures they won’t be quick to admit they were wrong in the future.

Outcome over ego."

The Obstacle Is The Way.

[Farnam Street @farnamstreet]

Too often we reward people who solve problems while ignoring those who prevent them in the first place.

Instead of glorifying those who run around putting out fires, we need to create an organizational culture that empowers everyone to act responsibly at the first sign of smoke.

"Few things are more important in life than avoiding the wrong people.

It’s tempting to think that we are strong enough to avoid adopting the worst of others, but that’s not how it typically works."

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We must strive to cultivate feelings of kindness, compassion, and love for others, viewing our fellow human beings as brothers and sisters, regardless of their race, nationality or religion. A warm heart can bring joy to our own lives and to the lives of those around us.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Everyone has some interest in peace of mind. To maintain such inner peace, we have to learn that it is destructive emotions like anger and suspicion that disturb our minds, while compassion brings peace and self-confidence.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In hard times, people don't want to be told to look on the bright side. They want to know you're on their side.

Even if you can't help them feel better, you can always help them feel seen.

The best way to support others is not to cheer them up. It's to show up.

#GivingTuesday

[David Whyte @poetdavidwhyte]

Gratitude is not a passive response to something we have been given, gratitude arises from paying attention, from being awake in the presence of everything that lives within and without and beside us.
