#310 Not everything has to scale
Manage episode 480210085 series 3557145
Fulfillment doesn't come from chasing metrics and success numbers but from creating meaningful things that might never appear on a spreadsheet. True satisfaction emerges when we make things with no agenda but joy, recognizing that small doesn't mean insignificant and quiet creations often matter most.
• Success metrics are never-ending—as soon as you hit your target, it just increases
• The most meaningful creations show up as handwritten notes, heartfelt projects, or unposted acts of kindness
• When feeling burnt out, ask yourself when you last created something with pure meaning and no agenda
• Small doesn't mean insignificant—sometimes things matter more because they're quiet
• Play, art, storytelling and walking aren't distractions but essential fuel for a fulfilling life
• You're wired to make things that matter, even when no one is watching
• It's okay to be silly and not be a professional at something you create
• Challenge yourself to create something this weekend not for success but for joy
