Organizing Your Genius and Executing on Your Projects
When it comes to organizing and executing on your genius and projects, it is important to prioritize what truly matters and not get caught up in trivial details. Our brains are wired to distract us from the reality of our mortality, often leading to fear of failure, rejection, and pain. However, acknowledging our mortality and embracing the fact that life is ephemeral can actually fuel our creativity and drive. By recognizing that projects and ideas are not truly ours, but separate entities with their own destinies, we can approach them with a sense of responsibility and focus on preparing ourselves to bring them into the world. This involves getting clear on our intentions, understanding the necessary steps and milestones, and building a fail-safe system to keep us on track. By showing up consistently, prioritizing substance over aesthetics, and understanding that failure is a natural part of the process, we can effectively execute on our projects and make them a reality.
