Today, I had a good day.
There is nothing more energising than a yes. Nos are hard. Bouncing back from every No, might sound motivational, but Nos scratch away a part of us.
Most of us can only tell the story of our Nos when we get a Yes. That’s how powerful a Yes is. It brings meaning to everything else.
I got a yes from a top dog. A lot of positive feedback. No flattery. Just straight up commendation, with actionable feedback on how to finish strong.
Positive feedback is powerful. Every other thing I did today did not feel like work. The smile on my face could not be rubbed off.
I am thankful for positive feedback, and lifted spirits.

Quick
What is natural takes time.
What is unnatural happens in no time.
The selling point of the unnatural is the shortening of time.
In meditation – get calm quick.
In pleasure – get high quick.
In wealth – get rich quick.
In health – get fit quick.
You get there quick, and start trying to figure out what to do next. That is when the dip arrives, and you plunge into a deeper hole than the rut you thought you were in.
That dip is where the profits are for the salesmen of quick fixes.
In whatever you want, it is better to ask, “what is the slowest way to achieve this?” If you do not have the time to go slowly, don’t go at all.
