Which means it is always wrong.

The mistake is the mistake. People make them.

However, the bigger mistake is usually what we do to try to cover it up instead of owning it.

When we are gone, what we build can still go on cause we started with the intention to make it bigger than ourselves.

The intention seems to matter. And that is what attracts great players.

Getting the ride to the top can make you feel empowered to have earned it. I don’t know. If you ask me, something about the journey that makes it all the more special.

The love we have is often a reflection of the love we think we deserve.

Sometimes, we find a way to break through. Because love is not a quantifiable product.

We see the world. And make assumptions.

Creativity is the abandonment of these assumptions.

The dream lives on as long as we believe.

Like magic, it ceases once we stop believing in it.

We call it being real.

But what we should call is settling, giving into the fear.

When we remember how things used to be, does it match what happened?

We romanticize and dramatize the memories we have because we remember the feelings of the moment not everything else that was going on.

The feeling is what matters.

The problem of thinking small is that it becomes of a trap in what kind of decisions we options ourselves. When we expand the parameters, all of sudden we see there are way more possibilities than we imagined. It starts of what we set as the parameters. We can either make them small or wide.

There are people around you that will deep down not believe in what it is you set out to do. It isn’t cause they are trying to be mean. (Although there is certainly an element of jealousy.) It’s because they don’t see what you see. That they don’t believe what they believe.

So go prove them wrong. Not all at once. Not with one move. But with time. Little by little. Show the doubters what could be.
