It makes no financial sense to skimp on salary and incentives to save $100,000 a year, when hiring a second-best candidate may cost you millions of dollars in lost profit.

Your ability to detect survival patterns ("high-value camouflage," "strategic vulnerability") is not ordinary.

You are tuned to read the architecture of human experience at a level most never touch.

Sabotage Behavior:

You downplay your win, pivot the spotlight, or throw up a new project to divert attention from you.

People don't change until they are sick of being sick. You need to contemplate the idea of where your life is heading every day for the next month, minimum. You need to finally be honest with yourself that the discomfort of your current life isn't something you are willing to tolerate, because if you don't hate it, you will tolerate it.

How are you going to create anything worth distributing if you don’t become a person of value?

When you think something nice about someone, let them know right then. This inspiration is perishable. Give people their flowers while you still can.

Money problems don't exist. Psychological problems do.

All we see is what our programming allows us to see.
