Promise less, deliver more.
A worthwhile search.
Complaining costs time.
Love has more patience, so pursue projects that excite you.
Slice and start.
Try and expect that you'll need to try some more.
Give it an honest try.
Drop something. Say no. Or burnout.
Show up, every damn day, no matter how small.
Earn your tools.
You've got this.
The tipping point for growth.
Find your people, one way or another.
Small things can have immense value.
Luck requires preparation.
The path to regret.
Start with what you have.

Obsession is your ultimate advantage.
In the short term, chasing curiosity might not always make sense – no clear payoff, and you might even look silly. But keep going – it’ll take longer than you think, but it’s worth it.
Be aware if you have too many answers.
To-do lists require work, they don’t do the work.

Nike is right.
Breakthroughs take time.
Human nature.
Most projects be like this.
Align your actions with the reputation you want—and use the internet to scale it.
Is there a better way?
Do it before doubt destroys it.

A day in the life of most people.
That time of the year.
One of the things I enjoy most about being self-employed is the freedom to bounce around, act on my ideas, and not get stuck in bureaucracy.
How most full-time creatives start.
Good products bridge gaps.
Curiosity is the ultimate cheat code. It makes learning effortless and turns hard work into play. While others force focus, you’re pulled in naturally.
Deliver. Overdeliver. Never underdeliver.
Plug and play.
Both feel good in the short term, but only one will feel good in the long term.
Keep going.
It creates momentum and keeps the flame alive for your dream.
More tasks. More switching. More lost time.
Move the ball forward every single day – no matter how small.

Life.

It makes no sense that we don’t do them.
Ship and iterate.
A lot of problems disappear once you stop imagining them.

Notification came, and the focus went.
No discomfort? No breakthoguhs.
Consistent trying can change your mind.
The world moves on. Ignorance leaves you behind.
Doing is overestimated. Quitting is underestimated.
Procrastination that feels like “work”.
Start now. It’s not too late.

All good things, but one is the real needle mover.
"I'm listening."
Action.
Sign of a good project.
