Evolution favours species that move their bodies in the way they were meant to move.*
Dacher Keltner

Flow is a symptom of the work we’re doing, not the cause of it.**
Seth Godin

Sunil Raheja offers four signs of
egocentricity:
We compare ourselves with others;
We are defensive;
We need to display our brilliance;
We need to be liked and accepted.^

Our movements become unnatural and
distorted, and whilst we need to develop ego
to become an independent person,
When we become stuck in our individuality,
It’s like dragging a ball and chain.

Interdependence frees us into who we are
uniquely,
To immerse ourselves in what
we must do
and bring to others,
And to value how we
could not do this without each other:
Near the end of March 1845,
I borrowed an axe and went
down to the woods
by Walden Pond …
It is difficult to begin without
borrowing.^^
