Being human
"serendipity engine" - consistently creating moments of potential connection and designing a cadence of connection in your life that can lead to unexpected, deeper connections if you're open to them.
Daniel Stillman • Instead of Networking, Build a Serendipity Engine — Daniel Stillman
If you want to do great work you have to interface with others—learn what they have figured out, find collaborators who can extend your vision, and other support. The trick is doing this without losing yourself.
The act of creation inherently forces choice, demanding that we move beyond passive contemplation and translate abstract thoughts into tangible form. Making something necessitates inevitable, decisive, action, compelling us to externalize our internal landscape.
Jaya • if you want a sense of self, make something
What I’d done was to put my own journey of exploration out there for others to be a part of.
remind me that I’ll never build a habit that I only squeeze into my “leftover time.”
The self is not found, it is made

he thing about low-energy habits is that they aren’t about changing yourself. they’re about meeting yourself where you are—in your tiredness, your messiness, your in-between moments—and making them just a little softer. because maybe, self-care isn’t about fixing anything. maybe it’s just about making life feel a little more like yours.
