Stay curious, preferably with a camera in hand.


Growth

While we can’t completely reinvent ourselves, we can emerge and grow into someone different than we were yesterday. What useless habits should we leave behind in favor of more useful skills?


Performance

We all have a part to play. And, it’s not always on stage. But, this doesn’t take away from the importance of our performance. Our actions might be most impactful when we think no one is looking. Our small, seemingly hidden, part might spark someone to see things differently, to do the next thing, or simply to carry on. All the world’s a stage. And our performance matters.


Fuel

Using the right type of fuel can go a long way to improving our performance and feeling productive. So, it’s helpful to reflect on what inputs help us feel inspired, motivated and satisfied. These can take many forms, both physical and mental.

What’s our good fuel we should seek more of? And, what’s the type we should avoid?


Handmade

It’s generally not economical, requires more skill and more time. And as a result, it’s harder and harder to find, which is why need to cherish those moments when we come across someone who cares enough to do it.


Anger

…rarely serves us well. It often leads to poor decision making, unnecessary tension and even embarrassment. Yet, it’s super hard to control in certain situations, especially when we feel personally attacked in some way. But alas, our lack of control only degrades the matter further, which in turn may cause even more anger.

Breaking the anger cycle may be the most useful skill of all. What’s you hack or method to mitigate anger?


Sneaky

Not a popular tactic. Generally risky. But, sometimes effective.

Like it or not, trade-offs are a way of life.


Stars

We don’t necessarily need to look up to see them. They’re all around us if we care to notice.
