For ill or good intent

Progress is one of life’s basic human motivators.

Take someone who always exceeds the speed limit. They make progress by finding ever faster ways to travel; speeding, rolling stops at stop signs, passing illegally, running red lights. They do this consciously. The more they do it, the more they justify it in their mind. This was me before fatherhood.

However, speeding (and other illegal, yet time-saving travel decisions) is an unjust activity. Justifying it in your head doesn’t change the longstanding, prevailing law.

This works for people with ill will.

To please themselves, they basically ignore the law. These are the people who attract attention to themselves. The “I’ll do whatever I want” people.

This works in reverse for people with good and decent intentions. The law-abiding citizens. The respectful who care how their behaviors and decisions impact others. These people do their best to think through their actions and the impact it may have outside their personal lives.

Care about other people or don’t care about other people.

Never get bored with the basics.

Price versus value

Gapingvoid art
Be remarkable. Be you. Every other spot is, or will be, taken. Do what you do so differently it’s impossible to blend in.

My answer to what’s the difference between price and value?

Price is for selling commodities.

Value is for selling what’s scarce.

Said adaptively, negativity is a commodity. Positivity is scarce.

Just wake up and write

Almost sunrise. One dorm room light on.

To call yourself a writer, write.

Wake up and write.

Therefore…

To say you have a growth mindset, think positivity about everything.

Wake up and focus only on a growth mindset.

Every thought is a vote

Leadership quote
A growth mindset is hard until it becomes easy. Growth-mindset people live in a mostly fixed-mindset world. Everyone is going through a hell no one knows about. Growth mindset is never an absence of life-challenges.

Every thought is a vote for the type of person you hope to become.
