Will you chase or will you attract?
This is a giant question for us and the choices here could not be more different.

The chase will always leave you out of breath, tired, and panting. Even if you catch it, whatever it is will probably have to be juggled and, unfortunately, dropped.
And then there’s attraction which leads to a waltz and something (a human, an experience, or a moment) you can hold.
So what’s it going to be? The dance or the rat race?
Your call.

Contribution is the new consumption.
This backwards reality is the opposite of what we’ve been taught, and yet the leaders of tomorrow – in any field – are starting to understand and see this as the way.
Once you’ve poured something out only then will you have made room to soak something in.
Yes, to get it right, we’re going to have to get it backwards.
