Sticking to goals daily is hard work, but not in the sense that it takes a lot of physical or mental exertion. It is hard to keep prioritizing the important to myself alone over the urgent needs of others.

People want to be asked “correctly” – that is, according to the “rules” of the culture. There are 10,000 rules for timing for the asking (the when) , person in the hierarchy that should be asked at each point in the transaction (the who), which questions are appropriate, the words and energy to use for the asking (the what), the correct industry/company (the where), (the why), (the how).

I only want to ask people who can provide me with the sense of community that I am searching for.

Relationships are incredibly expensive. I should only invest in those that serve what is important to me.

Some people will never give me what I want – and it is my job to identify them and not engage them.
