This next project might take one year, five, or twenty, but it is not you. You are a superset of what you do, not a subset. Narratives based in past behavior are by definition out of date. Sometimes allow yourself to just be open to possibility of the next moment being different. How does the story change in this moment? The key to talent development of yourself and others: propulsion off cliffs with parachutes one size too small. Sometimes you land hard but your wings build muscle.

Only spend time on people and activities that could break your heart. Otherwise, even if you win, will it have been worth it?
