At 9:32am yesterday, my teammate Brent text me, “The people have spoken, let’s build this.”

I need to know if you want what I’m considering building.

Most people approach confidence backwards.

If you want an effort to succeed, are there any good reasons to act with low confidence?

You know that feeling when everything seems to be going wrong?

Yesterday I said that our fatal flaw is weak discipline to act in alignment with the principles we already know. How does weak discipline like that find its way into your life? Through rationalizations, justifications, and excuses.

It's not the principles we don't know that damage us. It's the principles we know but don't follow. Ignorance is not our fatal flaw. Awareness coupled with weak action is our fatal flaw.

In another reality, it might be nice to know that anything you put effort into will succeed. It might be comforting to live with the security that you can avoid failure simply by trying.

A quick follow-up on yesterday’s message.
