Letting go at the top is not an act against perfection, but against short-sightedness. - Kevin Kelly

To cultivate a habit switch your language from “I can or can’t do” to “I do or don’t do.”You shift the weight from a wavering choice to an unwavering identity.

robust intelligence may be a liability — especially if by “intelligence” we mean our peculiar self-awareness, all our frantic loops of introspection and messy currents of self-consciousness. We want our self-driving car to be inhumanly focused on the road, not obsessing over an argument it had with the garage.

If your goal does not have a schedule, it is a dream.
