Axioms

Perhaps you're like me, and sometimes a good quote from a smart, dead person is like good medicine. When things feel a little murky or shaky, it's nice to digest a little nugget of truth from someone who's been there. I found myself digging around for some today. Then, for whatever reason, I wanted to try writing my own. Almost like I'm a freelance fortune cookie writer. Feel free to turn them into posters with jumping whales. Just a few thoughts I had this morning...

"Instincts are easier to trust when the stakes are low. But when they're high...that's when you find out if you got moxy."

"Sometimes your critics are looking thru different glasses than you. The trick is getting them to trust that your vision is less fuzzy than theirs."

"Listening to your gut gets harder the longer you stay in the ring."

"A bagel is good by itself. Its even better with sausage, egg, cheese, hot sauce and ranch."

"Pipe dreams don't magically turn themselves into plumbing. They need a passionate group of plumbers and pipe benders willing to crawl into the dark, dirty places."

"Take risks. But only if you have some bounce left in your tanks."

I'll leave you one last quote from the Clarke girls. It's an axiom that I've followed for over 15 years. "Dance like you feel."
