There is no such thing as a shortcut.
People, like water, naturally find the path of least resistance – faster, cheaper, more convenient and inevitably unremarkable.

The ultimate shortcut is fighting through the Resistance, not going around it – slower, at times expensive (not just money) and inconvenient is what leads us to be remarkable.
