Quote

There's no life-work balance. I think you have to have the discipline to have the life you want to have. And if you are stealing from one part of your life in order to make the other part work, you are going to pay for it.

When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
Seth Godin
Image
If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.

Don’t be different just to be different. Be different to be better.

When the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.

Do you know what people want more than anything? They want to be missed. They want to be missed the day they don't show up. They want to be missed when they're gone.

Everyone has a comfort zone. Worth considering: How hard (and how often) are you willing to work to get out of it? You can turn that into a habit if you choose.

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.

Don't have any meetings about your web strategy. Just do stuff. First you have to fail, then you can improve.
Seth Godin
Image
This might end up in crying. If you're not prepared to cry about it, I'm not sure you're making art. And if you're not prepared to dance in anticipation, you're definitely not making art.
Seth Godin
Image
If you are afraid to write or edit or assemble or disassemble, you are merely a spectator. And you are trapped, trapped by the instructions of those you've chosen to follow. Twenty people in the field and eighty thousand in the stands. The spectators are the ones who paid to watch, but it's the player on the field who are truly alive.
Seth Godin
Image
The status quo is persistent and resistant. It exists because everyone wants it to. Everyone believes that what they've got is probably better than the risk and fear that come with change.

Art is what we're doing when we do our best work.

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

Image
Do you believe in what you do? Every day? It turns out that belief happens to be a brilliant strategy.

The answer to the question where do good ideas come from is always the same, the come from bad ideas. If you come up with 20 bad ideas you get one good one.

Little changes cost you. Big changes benefit you by changing the game, but only if you go first.

Don't wait to be picked. Pick yourself.
