Proper incentives
Doing hard things is made easier when the incentives are properly aligned

Doing hard things is made easier when the incentives are properly aligned
Be careful what you at the subconscious lesson of a situation be. It might not be the thing you actually believe in.
And what do we need to teach boys about that?
A good day is good because it's a good mix
The thing that helps us assess our choices
Ambition that is good for you and good for the world
What gives someone or something that sizzle?
What it is and how we can maintain it
A reminder
Giving ourselves (and others) permission to be outside the box
Choosing to extend a little more of it to the world
The ones we tell ourselves about ourselves, and the ones other people tell about us
Not for others, but for ourselves
It's different than a goal. It's different than a limit. It's the best of both
Trajectory is everything
Whether we live in a hostile or friendly universe is more than just a theoretical framework
The ability and willingness to see shades of gray protects us from ascribing too much evil to those with whom we disagree and too much good to those with whom we agree. The truth is almost always more complicated than we would wish it.
Shining a light on what matters
Laughing at ourselves, and making other people laugh
How we respond to the world and how that shapes how we see that dynamic
Practicing it in the small things can better prepare us to accept it in the larger moments.
The value of stepping up to the plate and existing in a construct where we expect the same from others.
Not as an end state, but as a target
Especially when we're having trouble feeling it
The one that we construct for ourselves
The importance of being earnest
A circular model
On all the different levels
In more than the customary way that we are conditioned to think about it
How we choose to pay attention to something and how that affects our lives
