Whoa, that’s a lot of energy

To tell great stories as fast as possible. That’s my jam.*
Hugh Macleod

Be a monomaniac on a mission to be truly great at something difficult. Pick one thing and send the rest of your life at getting deeper into it. Mastery is the best goal because the rich can’t buy it, the impatient can’t rush it, the privileged can’t inherit it, and nobody can steal it. You can only earn it through hard work. Mastery is the ultimate status. Striving makes you happy.**
Derek Sivers

Identifying the thing we want to do –
The must to work at and deliver to others – will
leave us feeling alive and
emitting power-stations of energy;
We’re thrilled to have found something
so meaningful and satisfying, but
what we do won’t be for everyone:
We must find those it is good for.

You’re either the person who creates energy. Or you’re the one that destroys it.^
