“give yourself a lot of shots to get lucky” is even better advice than it appears on the surface.

luck isn’t an independent variable but increases super-linearly with more surface area—you meet more people, make more connections between new ideas, learn patterns, etc.

Quote by <n>Audre Lorde</n> from her book <n>Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches</n>.

You’ll thrive once you find what genuinely inspires you.

We spend far too much energy in a state of preparation versus being present.  Better results occur when we’re dialed into working through problems as opposed to anticipating problems that have yet to happen.

Because there's an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in.

"The more you pursue feeling better all the time, the less satisfied you become, as pursuing something only reinforces the fact that you lack it in the first place."

— Alan Watts

"Uncommunicated expectations are premeditated resentments."

—Neil Strauss

Your experience of life is not based on what happens to you but what you pay attention to.
