what the helvetica?!

Unbelievably excited to attend the 3% Conference this year! Their mission statement says it all:

What I know for sure about following your dreams:

Think of it like this. Every moment you spend on one project is a moment you cannot spend on another. Which moment is worth more to you?

Moving on from one dream to make another a reality isn’t failure and it isn’t giving up, it’s getting better at committing.

When people tell you no, it’s not the same thing to telling yourself no. The first is control and a lack of faith, the second is discipline and showing faith in yourself.

An interest is different from a passion is different from an obsession is different from a dream. Work out which is which.

There is no point at which you have failed at a dream, as long as you have spent energy and time to follow it.

Your dreams are supposed to be enjoyed, not blasted through at the speed of light, and if you don’t stop to enjoy ’em, when you reach where you wanted to be it will only feel empty.

Nothing matters more than what you wanted to do. By that I mean, don’t let other people dictate the paradigms and details and expectations and deliverables of your dreams.

Just because someone has share a shitty quote image of Elizabeth Holmes telling you that “having a back up plan is committing to fail” doesn’t mean it’s true. Embrace having multiple dreams to follow, and if one doesn’t align or doesn’t work, switch paths.

Remember, Steve Jobs’ passion was music a long time before it was tech. You don’t have to turn what you love into a life long dream. You can however let other dreams influence the dreams you follow.

“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
