In our world, productivity and creativity occupy two different buckets. The former is functional, necessary, and purposeful. The latter is frivolous, chaotic, and irresponsible.

In the name of politeness, we often sugarcoat or dilute the truth, twisting it into something softer that we think the other person would rather hear.

One of the biggest barriers to us getting the things we really, really want are the mixed messages we send to ourselves. We want it, then we’re not sure we do.
