Setting up @memdoai

it's surprising how often the inspiration waits until you're already in the game before it shows up. - @JamieSmartCom The Little Book of Clarity

If you keep doing what you are currently doing, how do you imagine things will turn out? Does anything scare you about the future you are living into?

Sometimes we grow and then forget what it's like to be where we once were. We show too little compassion for people who are still there.

The change that you seek to make in the world proceeds from your personal growth. Commit to the process of becoming the change you want see.

Speed is a secondary consideration. 'Where do you want to go?' must be answered before 'How fast do you want to get there?' Don't hurry off to the wrong destination.

Beliefs operate in the realm of story. Logic and evidence alone are not sufficient to permanently dislodge them. You will need a better story to fill the void.

One act of self-discipline can feed another. Disciplines shape your identity; you can become the sort of person who is capable of things that currently feel out of reach. What is your most solid personal discipline? What can you build on that foundation?

Any significant journey is going to include some obstacles. You know they are coming so there is no use in wishing them away. Instead ask yourself: What could go wrong? How can I be better prepared?

It's tempting to skip steps. You might arrive at your destination sooner, only find that you don't have what you need to maintain. The slow way is often the fastest way. What would happen if you slowed down?

When you visualize the exciting possibilities that lie ahead don't just focus on the end goal. Visualize the obstacles that you will need to overcome to reach it. Get excited about that part too.

How things turn out is less important than the story you tell yourself about why.

Delay creates consequences. But beating yourself up for procrastinating makes it hard to re-engage. What's your most overwhelming 'incomplete'? What's the smallest meaningful step you can take to address it? Do just a little bit. That's plenty for now.

Sometimes things fail for random reasons. An unfavorable outcome is not proof of a poor decision. Don't let bad luck undermine your willingness to try again. What is the smartest risk you have ever taken?

It always requires a range of skills to build something significant. You don't have to possess all the skills; just know what they are and get them covered. What supporting skills must you develop/enlist to bring your vision into reality?

When your skills don't match an opportunity, you can't take full advantage of it. You can only fake it for so long. What opportunity are you actively preparing for?
