notes

  • relationship is the project
  • living intentionally is a creative process in itself
  • separate analysis from creativityโ€”when we canโ€™t play, work
  • always work in intentional containers of time
  • we must enjoy the processโ€”derive as much pleasure as possible, focus on generating the work and trust that the solution will come
  • and loving the work and believing in the work and committing to the work in tangible, concrete ways are one hundred percent our responsibility, always
  • we create our own magic
