It takes a lot of guts to stop measuring things that are measurable, and even more guts to create things that don't measure well by conventional means.

More quotes by Seth
Courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.
Seth
We've discovered that the earth isn't flat that we won't fall off its edges, and our experience as a species has changed as a result. Maybe we'll soon find out that the self isn't flat either, and that death is as real and yet as deceptive as the horizon that we don't fall out of life either.
Seth
Ordinary thinking and ordinary effort are almost never enough to generate leadership.
Seth
Don’t try to make a product for everybody, because that is a product for nobody.
Seth
Don't worry about your stuff. Worry about making meaning instead.
Seth
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.
Seth
The art of moving forward lies in understanding what to leave behind.
Seth
It is not virtuous in any way to put yourself down, or to punish yourself, because you do not feel you have lived up to your best behavior at any given time.
Seth
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
Stop advertising and start innovating.
Seth
You do not hate anyone you are not capable of loving. Remember that.
Seth
My mother-in-law is obsessed with clowns.
Seth
More time on the problem isn't the way. More guts is. When you expose yourself to the opportunities that scare you, you create something scarce, something others won't do.
Seth
It is very important that you express your idealism actively, to what ever extent you can, for this increases your sense of worth and power.
Seth
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.
Seth
The present is the point of power.
Seth
There's a huge difference between the shallow pleasure of instant applause and the long-lasting impact of true connection.
Seth
The very fact that it might not work is precisely why you should and must do this.
Seth
I'm not sure there's any number of Facebook likes that can replace a hug.
Seth
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
