If you're different somehow and have made yourself unique, people will find you and pay you more.

If you demand that everything that happens be something you are adequately prepared for, I wonder if you’ve chosen never to leap in ways that we need you to leap. Once we embrace this chasm, then for the things for which we can never be prepared, we are of course, always prepared.

You can raise the bar or you can wait for others to raise it, but it's getting raised regardless.

Sometimes, we're so focused on being consistent that we also lower the bar on amazing. After all, the thinking goes, if we can't be amazing all the time, better to reset the expectation to merely good. Which robs us of the ability to (sometimes) be amazing.

The less people know, the more they yell.

When exactly were we brainwashed into believing that the best way to earn a living is to have a job?

We don't need to be taught to make art, but sometimes we need permission to do so. Following instructions is overrated.
