Take the time to reflect on your experiences using each model, because it is through reflection that the most valuable knowledge builds…” #TheGreatMentalModels3…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *LS* The Warm-Up: “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” ~George Bernard Shaw The Core: “Amateurs have a goal. Professionals have a process.” ~Farnum Street “Horror is fear of the unknown. Terror is fear of the known.” ~Ric Meyers “Create your lane. Set your pace. And do what you do.” ~@thesoleromero “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” ~Martin Luther King Jr. “Asked my bf what he wanted for his birthday, he said ‘high margin, recurring revenue.’” ~@sonofalli “You are not an overthinker, you just have too much free time. When you are busy, you are more efficient, you are more decisive.” ~Orange Book “Anytime you are ‘rushing’ in the day, you are diluting your effectiveness – not covering more ground. A Reminder: Take the time, and do it right.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “If you’re looking for the work to support you, you may be asking too much of it. We create in service to art, not for what we can get from art.” ~Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being “Sometimes you have the vision, but you don’t feel like you have the capacity or the capabilities to see it through. This is where your faith, passion, and community comes into play.” ~Wavy “I promise you, takers have no limits, your boundaries are their limits, and you don’t lose people because of your boundaries, they lose you because of their repeated disrespect.” ~@MindTendencies2 “Like window shopping at a Lamborghini dealership for the model that doesn’t come out until next year.” ~Jordan Reid, in a text about Marvin Harrison Jr. from an NFL scout at Ohio State’s pro day “Holes in your armor are less important than your strongest skills. Most people are so focused on the few things they do poorly, that they forget the power of their own strengths. Stop looking at the holes & Run forward.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “Change is an essential element of moving forward. Even if it’s not broken, there is always something to fix. Don’t let early success make you complacent. Plan for diminishing returns, and you might just avoid them.” ~Farnum Street, The Great Mental Models #3 “Sometimes, when people pull away, it isn’t personal. They could be processing something and need space to process it personally and successfully in their own timeframe. Honor the mindful art of respecting people’s capacity. Those who get this keep lasting and thriving connections.” ~Lalah Delia Last Set: “It’s not about marriage, it’s about a lifelong partner that makes you feel understood, with whom you can share all your meaningful experiences. It’s not about money, it’s about less stress, less anger, less fear, because you have more options. Don’t forget the bigger picture.” ~Orange Book Food For Thought: “A guitarist could play the most complex solo and while technically impressive, it might not connect emotionally, while an amateur could perform a simplistic three-chord song and move you to tears. At the same time, there’s no need to fear leaning too much theory. It won’t undermine the pure expression of your voice. If you don’t let it. Having the knowledge won’t hurt the work. How you use the knowledge may. You have new tools. You don’t have to use them.” ~Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being Food For Thought II: “Your network is an indispensable source of intelligence because, first, people offer private observations and impressions that would never appear in a public source like the Wall Street Journal, your company newsletter, or on a podcast. Only a co-worker can clue you in to your boss’s idiosyncratic preferences. Only a friend working in another organization can tell you about an as yet unannounced job position being created there.” ~Reid Hoffman & Ben Casnocha, The Startup of You
