A quote to turn to in times of strife

The dark and the light are braided and bound. - Marc Ian Barasch As light brings brightness, it also casts shadows. The unknown of those shadows can bring fear, but never forget their presence also suggests the brightest of light. I believe it is our greatest blessing (if we choose so) to shine our own lights as bright as we can by working everyday to better figure out what are the very narrow set of tasks that we are most uniquely good at, and then saying no to everything else so that we can share our deepest strengths (gifts) with others.

A stop-doing list

“The difference between successful people and really successful people is  that really successful people say no to almost everything.”   - Warren Buffett A “stop-doing list” is the best way to increase your productivity. I need to stop doing: Worry too much what other people think Being a perfectionist and hold back on "shipping" my work Not believing in myself Everyday, I will continue to: Commit to deep work Schedule my time so I batch meetings & phone calls so I can deep work outside of these appointments Do a morning routine journal Do a end of day reflection Complete a weekly review Thank you JG & JC .

A lie defined

  A lie is a l imited i dea e ntertained. Our beliefs are the single biggest factors in what drives our behavior. We behave towards ourselves and others based on the beliefs we hold. Some beliefs we are aware of, other beliefs we are not aware of. Either way, these beliefs dictate our behavior. A lie is a limited idea, an incomplete idea that does not represent the whole truth. When we individually and collectively believe lies, social structures are built, maintained and reinforced. Whether you believe you can, or you believe you can’t, you’re right. Stop limiting yourself. Stop giving energy to anything less than the whole truth.
