‘How we act, how we relate to ourselves, to our bodies, to the people around us, to our work, creates the kind of world we live in, creates our very freedom or suffering.’- Joseph Goldstein & Jack Kornfield

That is why you should not worry about things that you cannot control. Life is too short for that. You have better things to do with your time, right?

If you care about other people, then focus on lifting people up. If you want to see a better world, a world where people are free to live together, to think together, to live in harmony, to do things that matter, to love, to celebrate with others, to embrace our differences, you have got to focus on social justice.

Because freedom is justice. Justice is life. If you are not free to live your own life on your own terms, you are not living; you are just there. Yes, just there.

If you care about your work, then focus on how you are going to get to your own next level. If you don’t like what you are doing, then find a way to create your own table for yourself. Because you are your own master. Focus on mastering yourself, then your work. Focus on becoming a better you. Focus on what really matter to you. Instead of wasting your time on what other people are doing.

When you focus on life, you get more life. When you focus on building a great environment, you attract other builders into your life. When you are positive, life rewards you with positive things. When you love other people, life rewards you with more love.

No matter what is going on in your life, you will go through it. If you are having a problem with your work, focus on making it better. If you are having issues with people, maybe they are not the right people for you. If you are not happy with your own life, then you have got to look within you.

Because you create your own life with your own thoughts. If you want a positive life, you must think positive thoughts. If you want to attract peaceful people into your life, you have got to think peaceful thoughts.

You don’t just think peaceful thoughts; you live with them. Why is that? Because tomorrow is waiting for you.

Why Ideas Are Not Enough

‘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.’
