“What you shine light on changes:

• If it’s good, it grows.

• If it’s bad, it tries to hide.

This is the game.”

We weren’t designed to be happy. We were designed to try as hard as we can

The difficulty IS the opportunity. When it's easy to understand, when it's easy for everyone to buy, when it's easy for everyone to participate -- that's when the opportunity edge is lost.

the faster that you do the hard things you want to avoid, the faster you will receive the good things you actually want.
