We are sitting on a planet spinning around in the middle of absolutely nowhere. We are floating in empty space in a universe that goes on forever.

“We have learned that the dream you are living now is the result of the outside dream hooking your attention and feeding you all of your beliefs. The process of domestication can be called the dream of the first attention because it was how your attention was used for the first time to create the first dream of your life.” - The Four Agreements
“Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it”. - The focusing illusion by D. Kahneman
A speaker jumps into a stage with a big ugly stain in his white shirt. He performs a great play but nobody is able to take their eyes off the stain. 98% of is shirt is clean but still, the audience is thinking less of him - Negativity bias I learnt. Inspired by David Rendall
flâneur
“La libertad del ‘flâneur’ se ejerce sobre el conocimiento de que toda finalidad es, en mayor o menor grado, imposición de sentido y dependencia, sacrificio de la frágil eternidad del presente (‘carpe diem’).

The Circle of Safety
Organizations succeed over the long term in both good and bad times when people share values and feel valued. Teams with deep levels of trust can easily act in the best interest of the collective. Being accountable means we share credit and ownership for everything that exists in our business – the good, bad and ugly. When something is bad or ugly, we agree to take responsibility as a team and work together to fix it.
Organizations that achieve the greatest success share an important trait. They all have a firm Circle of Safety in place – a culture in which the leaders look out for the long-term greater good of the organization, even if that means putting their own self-interests aside. This is why they are willing to push hard and take risks.

Yet our culture is obsessed with the new releases and headlines-worthy things.

Better vs. Unique
”…Lots of people talk about getting better at something – but better is not sustainable – and there is always someone who will figure out how to do something even better. As Denise Lee Yohn, author of Fusion: How Integrating Brand and Culture Powers the World’s Greatest Companies, noted, you don’t want to strive for better, you want to strive to be unique! Unique is unstoppable …”
