Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.

Art is the act of doing work that matters while dancing with the voice in your head that screams for you to stop.
Seth Godin

Saying no to loud people gives you the resources to say yes to important opportunities.
Seth Godin
Image
The problem with holding a grudge is that your hands are then too full to hold onto anything else. It might be the competition or a technology or the lousy things that someone did a decade ago. None of it is going to get better as a result of revisiting the grudge.

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

Competition validates you. It creates a category. It permits the sale to be this or that, not yes or no.
