Asking for what we want. It's such a simple concept, yet so often we are paralyzed by the fear of reactions. We wonder what "they" might say. We wonder if the worst-case scenario will come to pass. And too often we settle for something less than the best because we don't ask for what we want. But we don't need to be afraid and a little bit of courage may just get you the rooftop experience it got me.

Rhys Keller — Sat, 11 Jul 2020 09:30:00 +0000

A fine line exists between self-interest and selfish. While the self-interested takes accomplishments, skills, needs, and wants of others into account as fuel for the pursuit of something remarkable, a selfish mindset views everyone and everything as a hindering comparison.

Do you start something new just as you get tracking on something old? You're not alone. Often referred to as having an idea fairy on your shoulder, it's normal and natural to find a greater sense of joy chasing new ideas with new potential rather than old ideas that have reality attached.
