Your life should contain things nobody else has access to.

Thoughts you haven’t posted.

Places you haven’t photographed.

Memories you don’t share.

Not everything meaningful needs to be witnessed.

You don’t need to be available to everyone who knows how to reach you.

In an age of constant access, protecting your attention is becoming a virtue.

Being hard to reach isn’t anti-social.

It’s a declaration that your attention belongs somewhere.

@PH_Tollbooth “James Cameron rescued the bar from the deep many years ago”

[J.J. Calder @JJCalderX]

Your peers are door-dashing Taco Bell and playing Xbox until 3am.

The bar has never been lower.

It has never been easier to be exceptional.
