‘We can create new realities for ourselves, but only when we let go of the ideas that we’re uniquely defective.’
‘Many of us have poor team alignment not because the people on our team are in conflict but because we’re not communicating to our team what we want, need, and dream to be.’
‘The more an idea matters to you, the more you’ll thrash, precisely because its success or failure is deeply important to you.’
‘Not doing your best work leads to creative constipation- at a certain point, you’re too toxic to take new ideas in because you’re not getting them out.’
‘The nature of our best work is that we’re never done, and many of us create work and projects that carry on even after our death. The finish of one project is just the start of many others.’
‘You have to let go of projects and ideas that aren’t allowing you to thrive so you can trade up to the projects that do.’
‘If a project doesn’t have start and completion dates, it’s not likely that it’s going to get done.’
‘It’s easy to see what led to the big win when you have been celebrating and keeping up with all the small wins along the way.’
‘People, in handling affairs,
Often come close to completion and fail
If they are as careful in the end as the beginning
Then they would have no failure.’
‘The more it matters to you, the greater the need for downtime and transition time after finishing your project.’
‘Every best-work project you finish leaves more of your fingerprints on the universe.’
