The most underrated skill in business: Being easy to work with. Not the smartest person. Not the most talented. Just the person everyone wants on their team. Returns emails quickly.

Donald Glover in the multi-disciplinary stage. In viewing his past we can see that he spends years working on the skills of his craft before he’s excellent at it.

If we are to experience Aristotle's entelechy—meaning the possible becoming actual—then we realise that we must sacrifice what we could be in exchange for what we are.
This stage is not one of ease, but it is one that sets those who are willing on a path where they can master multiple disciplines and by doing so, master themselves.
I perceive value, I confer value, I create value. I even create — or guarantee — existence. Hence, my compulsion to make ‘lists.’ The things (Beethoven’s music, movies, business firms) won’t exist unless I signify my interest in them by at least noting down their names.

It’s not necessarily a list of favorites or even the best works you’ve consumed. Sometimes it might include works that you struggled with or maybe even disliked, but what’s important is that they stayed with you in a... See more
birthday bingo: make a list of tiny joys that fill your cup. buy flowers, text someone you love, take a photo, eat something sweet. tick them off as the day unfolds, like prizes you forgot you’d already won.
Fantasy-work is your responsibility. If you don’t advocate for your own fantasy you will be living inside someone else’s.
