Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
Feeling of doubt and fear.
People telling you to reconsider.
Being worried of the potential outcomes.
A growing list of sacrifices.
These aren’t bad signs. They’re good signs.
Signs that you’re thinking the work through, getting ready to leap and willing to go through the dip to make a difference.

Most cases are made better by caring more.
The grocery clerk who cares more than her colleagues is going to do better work.
The author who cares more about his novel will write a better story than one who does not.
There’s a problem with caring more, however. Such as…
It doesn’t do good to care more about what the critic thinks than one’s fans.
It’s harmful to care more about making a dime than deserving one in the first place.
It’s no good to care more what others will think of your work than what impact the work will have on the world.
The coat of the wrong kind of caring can be a heavy one, detrimental even.
Better to care better than to care more about the wrong things.

Games are fun. Games build our productivity. Games get us excited.
Games make competition a good thing.
Games are the perfect combination of carrot and stick.
The only thing we need to make it a game is information.
More information = more ways to play.

It’s garbage until it’s not.
It’s a shitty first draft until it’s not.
It’s a rough start until it’s not.
It’s never good. Until at one point. It is.
Every idol. Every celebrity. Ever marketer. Every star started out this way.

Both are full of traffic.
Better to build your own and ride on that.

We can earn forgiveness for our mistakes.
We can earn a helping hand after we fail.
We can earn forgiveness after we screw up.
We earn all that keeps us moving after being knocked down by standing up in the first place.
First we have to put ourselves out there.
Stay Positive & Give It A Go

It’s one thing to get ready to rumble; to move forward; to take action.
But getting ready only to rumble won’t get you through the dip or the adversity you’ll face or the self doubt.
You’ve gotta get ready to tumble, too; to be knocked down and get back up; to face push back.
It doesn’t sound as cool to say “let’s get ready to rumble and tumbleeeee” but it’s important we do it.
