Failure is not the opposite of success; it’s part of success.
We think mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of the time we put in at work, instead of the quality of the time we put in.
Success is commonly defined as money and power, but increasingly that’s not enough. It’s almost like a two-legged stool where you fall over if that’s all you measure your life by.
Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It’s the mastery of fear. It’s about getting up one more time than we fall down.
We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions sometimes and that we’ll screw up royally sometimes.
Increasingly, staying in the middle class – let alone aspiring to become middle class – is becoming a game of choice.
Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.
The fastest way to break the cycle of perfectionism and become fearless is to give up the idea of doing it perfectly – indeed to embrace uncertainty and imperfection.
Disconnecting from our technology to reconnect with ourselves is absolutely essential for wisdom.
Coincidences connect us across time, to one another, to ourselves and to an invisible order in the universe.
