Let's cool it, k?
Oh, hi friends!
Are you enough?
Experienced enough to get that job offer…
Persistent enough to see your byline in that fancy magazine…
Impressive enough to be praised by your boss’s boss…
Diligent enough to see your business succeed…
Talented enough to see your name in lights…
Wise enough to make time for your friends and your family and yourself...
Ask anyone around you and they'll tell you the truth. Of course you are. You're already there.
So, that’s enough. You are enough.
"If you want to carve an elephant from a block of wood, you don’t start the process with the fine-grit sandpaper.
You might start with a chisel and hammer, a handsaw or maybe even a chain saw, depending on what kind of person you are and the size of the wood block. But you’d never just start sanding away. It’s just not the right point in the process for that tool."
If you want to start something, first grab a chainsaw. You should read this entire (short) article.
Watch this charming Oscar-winning short film (~10 mins) based on the book The Dot and the Line (inspiration for the name of one of my favorite coffee shops in Brooklyn!). (h/t Danielle Friedman)
Thank you for reading.
