The gratitude you receive from others is a reflection of your genius.
Launch and learn. Everything is progress.
If your goals arenโt synced with the substance of your heart, then achieving them wonโt matter much.
I focus for periods of time on creative work and I'm very insular during those times - not a lot of socializing. I play when I want. That means I can take off on a retreat, catch a matinee, make friends. My core desired feelings are my time management system.
It's not about the goal, it's about how you want to feel when you get there.
Your desires will very often be contradictory and so will your strengths. All of our contradictions make us whole.
