You can spend your time on stage pleasing the heckler in the back, or you can devote it to the audience that came to hear you perform.
Seth
Image
Do not place the words of ANYONE above the feelings of your own being. You can learn much from others, but the deepest knowledge must come from within yourself.
Seth
Image
Don’t try to change someone’s worldview is the strategy smart marketers follow. Don’t try to use facts to prove your case and to insist that people change their biases. You don’t have enough time and you don’t have enough money. Instead, identify a population with a certain worldview, frame your story in terms of that worldview and you win.

Image
And yet the real success goes to those who obsess. The focus that leads you through the Dip to the other side is rewarded by a marketplace in search of the best in the world. A woodpecker can tap twenty times on a thousand trees and get nowhere, but stay busy. Or he can tap twenty-thousand times on one tree and get dinner.

Leaps look good in the movies, but in fact, success is mostly about finding a path and walking it one step at a time.

The people who successfully start independent businesses (franchises, I think are a different thing) do it because we have no real choice in the matter. The voice in our heads won't shut up until we discover if we're right, if we can do it, if we can make something happen. This is an art, our art, and to leave it bottled up is a crime.

Don’t try to make a product for everybody, because that is a product for nobody.

On the other hand technology brings within your reach the great therapy of music this activates the inner living cells of your body, stimulates the energy of the inner self and helps to unite the conscious mind with the other portions of your being.
Seth
Image
Your intent to find a mate sends out 'strands of consciousness' however, composed of desire and intent. Like detectives, these search the world, looking in a completely different way than a physical sleuth. The world is probed with your characteristics in mind, seeking for someone else with characteristics that will best suit your own.

We must be talented, powerful and resilient creatures indeed given how much we manage to produce despite the constant undercutting, ridicule and needless censorship we aim at ourselves.
Seth
Image
The present is the point of power.

Powerful advertising is anticipated, personal, and relevant.
Seth
Image
As far as you are concerned the present is your point of action, focus and power, and from that point of volition you form both your future and past. Realizing this, you will understand that you are not at the mercy of a past over which you have no control.
Seth
Image
Either you’re going to tell stories that spread, or you will become irrelevant.
Seth
Image
Don’t try to please everyone. There are countless people who don’t want one, haven’t heard of one or actively hate it. So what?

Image
People claim that love is the deepest feeling, but don't you believe it. Loneliness is the most affecting of human emotions. Nothing makes life more vivid. If you wish to live in the moment, I recommend intense loneliness.

In the next life you will be working with those attitudes that are now yours.

Image
Take a chance on your own abilities clearly, neither exaggerating them nor under-assessing them.
Seth
Image
In basic terms, civilization is dependent upon the spontaneity and fulfillment of the individual. Your civilization is in sad straits. Not because you are allowed spontaneity or fulfillment to individuals, but because you are denied it, and because your institutions are based upon that premise.

If you are love with the perfect, prepare to see it swept away. If you are able to dream of the impossible, it just might happen.
