Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
There’s something special about a packed space.
Something special about getting the last of something popular.
There’s something special about someone remembering your name.
Something special about being part of a movement.
The real beauty is in our ability to be the one to create something special for others.

When it comes to things that annoy you, it’s unlikely you have much control over them.
They are an outside force and you happen to be in their bubble and subject to frustration.
At least, until you realize how to gamify them.
Things that annoy you will annoy you far less when you devise a reward scheme around them.
Each time you hear someone being rude, treat yourself to a mini rice crispy treat.
Every time your computer freezes, go for a brisk walk around the block.
Whenever someone sends you a doc without hitting spell check first, go catch up with a friend quick.
It’s much easier to change your own attitude than it is to change the behavior of others.

A book becomes infinitely better when we read it relaxed and with our imagination open. It gets better when we’re focused on it, too – no distractions.
Not only does the book get better in this state, we enjoy it more, too.
Same can be said about the work we do.

The moment you show up at work, leave the house, pitch a project, meet with a friend – it’s no longer about your experience.
Not if you intend to level up, learn, grow and maybe even get that promotion or watch your business idea succeed.
No, it’s about others’ experience. And the less we ping-pong between taking actions for us and taking actions for them, the more we all win.

The number of gatekeepers is dwindling.
Now the onus is on us to say yes, to take action, to ship our ideas. No need for approval or a blessing or to wait for someone else to make it happen for us.
There are fewer gatekeepers than ever before – and while that’s beneficial to us, it also means there’s more responsibility.

No doubt that an unbranded glass leads the beverage it holds to be perceived as less valuable than the same liquid in a branded glass.
A bill with a pen on it leads to a different tip than a bill in a custom leather booklet.
And a gift most certainly leads one to appreciate it more when there’s a bow and a ribbon on it.
It’s not the entire point, but the details matter.

Hustling is great … if you do it early and often.
But most hustle third or fourth or dead last and then get frustrated when they have to pay the consequences of it.
Note: The hustling that works is the hustling we do before we need to.
