The object isn't to be perfect. The goal isn't to hold back until you've created something beyond reproach. I believe the opposite is true. Our birthright is to fail and to fail often, but to fail in search of something bigger than we can imagine. To do anything else is to waste it all.

Most people are searching for a path to success that is both easy and certain. Most paths are neither.

Your generosity is more important than your perfection.

If we live in a world where information drives what we do, the information we get becomes the most important thing. The person who chooses that information has power.

The goal in blogging/ business/ inspiring non-fiction is to share a truth, or at least a truth as the writer sees it. To not just share it, but to spread it and to cause change to happen. You can do that in at least three ways: with research (your own or reporting on others), by building and describing conceptual structures, or with stories that resonate.

The question is not Will you succeed? but rather, Will you matter?
