For me,
depression
was my soul
telling me
to pay attention
to it
to stop neglecting it
to stop pretending
that it doesn’t matter.

If psychologists
can name
our experience
so can anybody.

If so,
may we name it
in such a way
that we feel more curious
about it
as if to take interest
in a pet
or a friend.

Someone
we are more likely
to spend the time and energy
required
to learn to understand
and appreciate.

When we hyperfocus on something
anxiety-inducing
the weight of it makes it difficult
for us to do anything else

in these cases,
it’s important to take the long-term
what arey ou ultimately trying to do
by making progress on the subject of rumination

you may realize this is not as important
in which case the weight lessen
and you make room to do others things
more important

not that you won’t do it,
but you’ll do it with greater ease.

There
is a world of a difference
between trying to persuade
and persuasion emerging
as a byproduct.

There is a world of a difference
between trying to help
and helpfulness emerging
as a byproduct.

The day our employees stop complaining
is not necessarily the day
they no longer have complaints.

It may be the day
they have stopped
caring.

Making mistakes
is often times the only way
to learn.

you are able to achieve
without learning
but when what you didnt learn
because you were busy achieving
becomes relevant
unless you know what to look for
you will make the mistake and learn from it

We sometimes say
we partnered up
because our partner’s skills
complemented
our own,
when what we really mean
is that we were afraid
that without our partner’s skills
we would
fail.
