Taking your time with ideas can make them stronger. It's okay to wait for an idea to develop fully before sharing it with others.
Working with others can lead to amazing results. Collaboration often brings new perspectives and can amplify individual creativity.
Releasing work should be about authenticity and connection, not just seeking approval. Finding the right way to share your ideas can create more meaningful engagement.
Building a new thing involves meditating on creation and seeing it as an organic machine with a mystical element. It requires a delicate balance of control and allowing the new thing to reveal itself.
Starting a new project should stem from emotions towards an idea and allowing it to unfold naturally without pushing or completely ignoring it.
Maintaining the authenticity and purpose of a new thing is crucial to its survival. Recognizing that all new things will eventually change or die helps in staying true to its essence.
