Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
Knowing means responsibility to take action.
Knowing means the onus is on the one who knows to take the next step.
Knowing the right thing to do isn’t really knowing unless you do it.
Knowledge is power and with great power…
If you know, there’s no point in sharing you know; go ahead and do.

Jinxes can be helpful in connecting one with another over a moment.
But more often than not, jinxes bring more stress and anxiety and worry to a situation.
The real beauty about a jinx is it can’t exist if we don’t believe in it.
If jinxes aren’t working for you. Stop believing in them. The jinx doesn’t care one way or the other.

A few quips I’ve heard over the last week that I found inspiring. Hope you do, too.
“What are you willing to be unreasonable about?” As in, what will you bleed for, go to the edge for, be resilient around, not give up on. Once you know that, lean into it and hold steadfast. If you don’t know it, find it. You’ll need it to make it to the finish line.
“Make it a place for memory making.” As in, the design is in your hands and it’s up to you to not only ship something remarkable, but ensure that it becomes something of its own; something others can interact with in an unforgettable (and often unusual) way.
“Hopes up high. head down low.” As in, this.

Most struggles can be solved by extending ownership.
Ownership of the problem or the space or the work.
When someone else feels the same about a project as you, the project gets better.
Sometimes the work needs to be done. But sometimes it can wait so you can work on helping others understand their ownership in the work.
It’s time well-spared because – not surprisingly – it leads to better work, anyway.
Not all birds know they have the same feathers.
Some need to be told, showed and inspired.
That’s on us.

It’s okay if they don’t get it.
They don’t know all the planning you put in.
They don’t know all the late nights, stressful mornings, weight you’ve carried to get it to the point that you’re ready to share it with the world.
They don’t know how much you’ve saved and how much you’ve sacrificed.
They don’t know how much research you did or expert opinions you gathered to get you where you are today.
They don’t need to and it’s not your job to convince them of it all; it’s the linchpin’s job to keep shipping and searching for those who do get it.
They’re out there.

There’s truly two types of endurance, and it’s often we forget that.
There’s the endurance that you’re thinking of now. You may also call it resilience or stamina. It’s how long you can keep doing the same thing. In some scenarios, say, running a marathon or tossing a ball for a dog, that kind of endurance is key.
More often than not, though, we need a different kind of endurance. The endurance of swinging the bat again and again, but swinging it differently each time. It’s the endurance of falling down only to get back up again to try a different way in. Repetition of creativity, if you will.
You may not need to hold out longer. You may need to work differently again and again and again.
