There's a big difference between not settling and not starting.

Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.

Will you succeed because you are more well-rounded than others? Because you fit in better than everyone else? Bloody unlikely. We succeed when we are trusted to be the best at what we do.

You win by trying. And failing. Test, try, fail, measure, evolve, repeat, persist.

We're all born creative, it takes a little while to become afraid.

The people that are doing work that matters aren't doing work thats popular. They're just doing work that changes some people.

Here's the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that art (writing, engaging, leading, all of it) is valuable is precisely why I can't tell you how to do it. If there were a map, there'd be no art, because art is the act of navigating without a map. Don't you hate that? I love that there's no map.
