Some people read business books looking for confirmation. I read them in search of disquiet. Confirmation is cheap, easy and ineffective. Restlessness and the scientific method, on the other hand, create a culture of testing and inquiry that can't help but push you forward.

Great projects, like great careers and relationships that last, are gardens. They are tended, they shift, they grow. They endure over time, gaining a personality and reflecting their environment. When something dies or fades away, we prune, replant and grow again.

The reason you might choose to embrace the artist within you now is that this is the path to (cue the ironic music) security.

The resistance is the voice in your head telling you to use bullets in your PowerPoint slides...It’s the voice that tells you to leave controversial ideas out of the paper you’re writing, because the teacher won’t like them. The resistance pushes relentlessly for you to fit in.

As the amount of inputs go up, as the number of people and ideas that clamor for attention continue to increase, we do what people always do: we rely on the familiar, the trusted and the personal. The incredible surplus of digital data means that human actions, generosity and sacrifice are more important than they ever were before.

Before you promise to change the world, it makes sense to do the hard work of changing your neighborhood.

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.

Real content marketing isn’t repurposed advertising, it is making something worth talking about.
Seth Godin
Image
It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. Stop settling for what's good enough and start creating art that matters.

Every single important thing we do is something we didn't use to be good at, and in fact, might be something we used to fear.

If you're in the idea business, it doesn't matter where you're from. It matters if we care about the change you're making.

You can't have good ideas unless you're willing to generate a lot of bad ones.

My blogging life is basically goalless. I like the zen nature of that, and paradoxically, it improves results.

Even good excuses, really good ones, don't help very much. Explanations, on the other hand, are both scarce and useful. And accurate forecasts and insightful intuition are priceless.

When you think about Uber and Airbnb and the other companies that are turning things upside down, Uber isn't big 'cause they ran a lot of ads. They're big because someone took out their iPhone and said to their friend, watch this, and pressed a button and a car pulled up.

As creators, our pursuit of perfection might be misguided, particularly if it comes at the expense of the things that matter.

The mirror we hold up to the person next to us is one of the most important pictures she will ever see.

All the creativity books in the world aren’t going to help you if you’re unwilling to have lousy, lame, and even dangerously bad ideas.
