You can do 27 things not that well and be stressed and rushed all the time.
Or, you can do like 2 to 3 things really well with deep focus and fulfillment and time and space to breathe.
So many people, even more-so organizations, suffer from the former.
Don't.

A big misconception is that you need to be motivated to get rolling.
You don't.
Research: Motivation often FOLLOWS action, not the other way around.
In Practice: You don't need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good.

Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.
The intervals between repeat concussions matters. Thanks for sharing my research @griz1

“Are there any injuries I should know about?” Next time your yoga teacher asks this, don’t forget to mention any recent head injuries. 🤕
