Give yourself a break by recognising who you really are
So if you find yourself up against a challenge that hurts, just remember: Not one of us knows what the hell we’re doing.
You need to get excited again
We can get excited about an audacious and semi-ridiculous goal while remaining unattached if it doesn’t work out in the end.
Can we be both mindful AND productive?
The solution to productivity and ‘getting ahead’ is being engaged. Being engaged means being present with whatever’s in front of you.
You can’t fail if you do not quit
If you keep doing something long enough, you cannot fail.
The art of present, thorough and enjoyable work
When we can just do one thing at a time, a funny thing happens. We start to enjoy the thing, no matter how mundane.
Don’t DO what you love; BE what you love
If our sense of passion is dependent on certain projects, professions, clients and conditions to be just right, guess what happens…? The search never ends.
When you just can’t decide
Ever find yourself stuck on a really tricky decision? No matter how hard you try and think about the right move, you just can’t wrap your head around what the right decision is. I’ve been there many times.
When you have doubts about the path you’re on
You ever get that voice in your head that asks: ‘Am I doing the right thing with my life?’ Yes? Well. Me too. A lot.
‘The Void,’ and why understanding it leads to our best creative work
I see that I am still here. Still alive.
I am here — this place where few venture: the quiet source of creative insight.
