A quote I’m pondering

Our main business is not to see what lies dimly in the distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

Thomas Carlyle

An insight from conversation

If we wait to feel confident, we would never start anything – we would never have learned to walk, to run, to ride a bike, to read a book. Instead we should focus on building competence through practice.

Confidence may be better considered as an output rather than an input.

An action I’m taking

What is the question that needs asking here?

This question is a tool to help me dig to truly understand the deeper subtext and needs rather than just accepting the face value in a conversation.

Is there one of these that really stood out for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions whether that’s a favourite quote or something else.

I hope you have a great week ahead.

With love,

Toby
