Publish More, Publish Often

We have a gift that we can share with the world.

A gift that some choose to share, while others hold back.

 

Our gift is our perspective. From our perspective we can analyze what we observe and help improve society based on what we understand. Our diverse ideas and interpretations allows for us to grow as a society. We put our perspectives in to action to build and create. Without action, our perspectives are wasted.

 

No matter what you enjoy, where you work, and who you are, your perspective can have a profound impact.

 

So publish it. Share your gift.

 

We overestimate the risks associated with going live. Don’t keep the idea locked away — Share it.

The WORST Excuse

“I don’t have time”

I could write a long, comprehensive defense of my claim, but quite frankly there’s no point in arguing with anyone who will constantly present the world with excuses for why they aren’t perfect. I’m not claiming sainthood to any extent — I am prone to the same mistake. This is to assert that we can create time out of thin air to do the things we are passionate about. Don’t let the fear of failure dampen your passion, and slow your progress.

  1. Don’t lie to yourself.
  2. Find the Time
  3. Everybody has time, and we all choose how to spend it.

“Time is the greatest equalizer – Magnify your use of it.”

Take Small Bites

Today is the day that all of the gyms fill up with dreams.

People want to improve themselves and be the best they can, so they set ambitious goals. They want to look good in their swimsuit this year. They tell themselves that this is the year that it finally changes — that this is the year they finally follow through.

Somewhere in the back of our heads, we know we’re overstepping our bounds. We know that not much has actually changed, just the number on the calendar.

Still, we press on. We dream on. We want 2017 to be the year it all changes.

We buy new shoes, new clothes and a fancy membership to a fancy gym. However, we forget to make the biggest investment — We forget to invest in our goals.

Our “goals” are ultimate and grandiose. We want this year to be perfect, and that’s our “goal.”

Our goals should be realistic, so our subconscious won’t be filled with doubt and so that we can actually make consistent progress.

It’s OK to have a dream. It’s actually really healthy. However, it needs to be supported by a structure of smaller attainable goals that can be put into action.

Look at the big picture and take small bites.

Make 2017 a year of progress, not perfection.
