I have been forcing myself to write for some weeks now.

I am in a phase where I would rather not write, but I know that writing (like most things in life) only allows me back into the flow, by sticking to it.

Compounding is hinged on consistency.

You offer great ideas by offering more ideas, not less.
You create masterpieces by creating more pieces, not less.
You write better by writing more, not less.

Let me share why I wrote the above note to self.

“I see”
When sharing your thoughts with people that you respect, people that inspire you, people that you care about, probe deeper when they offer these two short words – “I see”.

It is the most polite signal that there is a different perspective to what you are currently offering.

Find out what exactly they see. It will lift you.

Fractions are made up of two integers (whole numbers) – numerators and denominators separated by a line.

For a fraction to be whole, the numerator must be equal to the denominator.

Numerators held up by a denominator of zero, leads fractions to an undefined result.

Numerators held up by a denominator of infinity, gets fractions defined as zero.

Denominators held down by a numerator of zero, gets fractions defined as zero.

Denominators held down by a numerator of infinity, gets fractions defined as infinity.

For a fraction to be whole, work is done on the numerator, the denominator or on both.

Numerators are more within our control.

Lives are made up of two metrics (distinct measures) – internal expectations and external expectations separated by our choices.

For a life to be whole, the internal expectations must be equal to the external expectations.

Internal expectations met by zero external expectations, lead to undefined outcomes.

Internal expectations met by endless external expectations, lead to zero outcomes.

External expectations met by zero internal expectations, lead to zero outcomes.

External expectations met by endless internal expectations, lead to endless outcomes.

For a life to be whole, we can work on our internal expectations, external expectations or both.

Internal expectations are more within our control. Raise them.
