Why they have it and you don’t

Assuming vs. discovering / Issue 1,213

Oh, hi friends!

Where is your mind?

“Living through discovery is at all times preferable to living through assumption.”

— A Creative Act by Rick Rubin

We shouldn’t assume what our collaborator or colleague is thinking.

We can’t assume how much harder one path is over the other.

We won’t assume because this person achieved success in one incredibly specific way that our success must be a mirror image.

If you add up all of your hours spent assuming, you get a lot of thinking.

But if you add up all your hours of discovery, you get action.

There’s the magic.

Assume less.

Discover more.
