Uncertainty is foundational to reality in a fluid world.
Underlying the frantic complexity of the fluid world exists a simple, elegant being built for resilience and growth – you.
My current evolving collection of words to live by:
- Perfect Yourself Daily (Baltasar Gracian)
- Memory is narrative constructed to support preconceived notions
- Perception is Reality
- Know yourself + your enemy = 100% chance of victory; Know yourself = 50%; and know neither = 0% (Sun Tzu, the Art of War)
- Make Haste Slowly (Baltasar Gracian)
- Sweat the Small Stuff
- Addition by Subtraction
- If You Can’t Measure it, You Can’t Manage it
- Build and Maintain Relationships
- Focus time and energy on what can be controlled, and then on what can be influenced, and waste neither on what cannot (Epictetus, dichotomy of control)
- Boredom is the signal to do something meaningful.
