When The Legacy You Leave Behind Lasts

Leading Is A Skill, Not A Gift. You're Not Born With It, You Learn How.

I Was Amplifying The Negative At The Expense Of The Positive, Not To Serve Any Useful Function, Not To Make My Writing Better, But To Destroy It. The Lizard Brain, So Attuned To People Laughing Behind Our Backs, Was On High Alert For This Sort Of Criticism And Would Do Anything It Could To Stop Me From Writing Again. I Haven't Sought Out And Read A Review Or A Tweet Since.

Do Your Art. But Don't Wreck Your Art If It Doesn't Lend Itself To Paying The Bills. That Would Be A Tragedy.

We Long To Connect, All Of Us. We Long To Be Noticed, To Be Cared For, To Matter. Generosity Is The Invisible Salve On Our Wound Of Loneliness, One That Benefits Both Sides, Over And Over Again.

If Failure Is Not An Option, Neither Is Success. Innovation Is Just Repeated Failure Till You Come Up With Something That Works.
