did you even stop to consider the possibility that life is less about getting it right and more about being carried along by moments of unexpected grace?

One issue with corporate comms is there’s too much “how to build a boat” and not enough “why you should should yearn for the vast and endless sea”

Making the mental switch from "Oh no why are all these things happening at once" to "Yes, bring it on. Add another one. Let's go"

You will 10-100x your learning rate. I promise

Isn’t it wild how much power our words have?

How easily they can cast spells on people, how they have ripple effects in all directions?

And yet how often we shy away from using them, even when all they would do is bring more beauty into the world?

So what are you waiting for?

A man who lies to himself is often the first to take offense.

yesterday a friend said: “doesn’t freelancing make you feel simultaneously self-actualized and completely behind in life?”

and yeah. that’s exactly it.

freelancing makes me feel free, and terrified, and proud, and like a failure.

all at once. every day.
