"Opportunities" are distractions. Obstacles are where the real opportunities live. It's buried treasure. You have to work to uncover it.

Recognizing a change is unlikely is a necessary part of making unlikely change, but anyone using present unlikelihood as a reason to not start expecting anyway it is acting to prevent that change from ever becoming likely. The world is changeable. We can change anything we want.

Writing your weekly status update? Less: Worked on... Discussed... Iterated on... Helped out... More: Decided that... Fixed... Shipped... Moved X to <next step> Focus on sharing your milestones towards impact. Reduce the vague language.

It's weird how the people who starred in Bram Stoker's Dracula have all barely aged since 1992. Probably nothing to worry about

Ask yourself: Could this meeting be a zoom? Could this zoom be a phone call? Could this phone call be an email? Could this email be a text? Could this text be unsent? Could we in silence retreat to the forest? Could we, by game trails & forgotten paths, vanish into the trees?
