you are the light


“You are the light.
It’s not on you.
It’s in you.
Don’t ever you in your life, dim your light for nobody.”
​
- St. Chroma, Tyler, the Creator

Tyler, the Creator’s new album starts with this message from his mother, who acts as his guide throughout the album.

It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. We need to remember that the light is within us, so we don’t need to ever worry about losing it or needing to chase it—it’s already here.

We just need to find it within and let it shine.

I thought I’d share what they took away: Mindset separates the good from the...

A very important influence in my career joined me for a conversation about the possibility of a better civilization—a Golden Civilization. George Kinder was my guest, and if you’re new to...

“You should think of your energy as if it's expensive. As if it's a luxury item. Not everyone can afford it. Not everyone has invested in you in order to be able to have the capital for you to care about this.” -Taylor Swift Bet you didn’t see a Taylor Swift quote coming.
