When you think you are too old to do something new remember you will never be younger than you are right now.

Happy new month. It's Thanksgiving month, people. God is great! Let's bask in November's spirit and appreciate every little and big thing we've achieved this year. The year brought challenges, but also opportunities for solutions. As the year ends, focus on things to be grateful for, beyond life's greatest gift: life. Excelsior, Excelsior!

Graphic designer and illustrator Seymour Chwast reminds us that working harder may not be the answer: "If you dig a hole and it's in the wrong place, digging it deeper isn't going to help." A perfect fit of digging a hole in the right place is where the result is.

In many cases, you'll find the only thing preventing you from learning is your ego. No one enjoys feeling foolish, but attempting something new requires that you climb down from your perch and struggle as a beginner. You must ask questions that reveal your ignorance or attempt skills that make you look uncoordinated. Learning demands the willingness to live in a brief state of discomfort. You must believe that looking like a fool for an hour will not ruin your reputation for life.

There is no need to fear any problem you are working on. If you are working on it, then you are influencing the outcome. It's the problems you don't address that should concern you.

Philosopher and writer Friedrich Nietzsche on the power of making a lot and choosing the best: "Artists have an interest in ... so-called inspirations; as if the idea of a work of art, of poetry, the fundamental thought of a philosophy shines down like a merciful light from heaven. In truth, the good artist's or thinker's imagination is continually producing things good, mediocre, and bad, but his power of judgment, highly sharpened and practiced, rejects, selects, joins together; thus we now see from Beethoven's notebooks that he gradually assembled the most glorious melodies and, to a degree, selected them out of disparate beginnings. The artist who separates less rigorously, liking to rely on his imitative memory, can in some circumstances become a great improviser; but artistic improvisation stands low in relation to artistic thoughts earnestly and laboriously chosen. All great men were great workers, untiring not only in invention but also in rejecting, sifting, reforming, arranging."

He who must not be named, a disciple of the dark lord, has cast a shadow over our once prosperous nation. The one who can, who will, and who is crumbling the economy, leaving devastation in his wake. The one who won't stop until there's no longer a middle class, only the haves and have-nots, perpetuating a cycle of inequality. This country needs a hero, or so we've been told. But what if the true hero lies within each of us? Not a single champion, but a collective force of courageous citizens who will stand up for their rights and say, 'Enough is enough.' We must recognize our own power and unite against the tyrant's grasp. In the absence of light, darkness will reign forever. But we can be that light. We can be the beacon of hope in a world torn apart by greed and corruption. It's time to rise up, to challenge the status quo, and to reclaim our nation. The signs are clear: crumbling infrastructure, struggling schools, and shattered dreams. The people suffer while the elite prosper. But we have a choice…

Two is twice as good as one, but one is infinitely better than zero. One minute of making sales calls is infinitely better than zero minutes. One minute of meditation is infinitely better than zero minutes. One minute of writing is infinitely better than zero minutes. Sure, it might be ideal to spend an hour doing these things, but one minute gets you in the game. Now you're learning. Now you're improving. Now results are possible. One doesn't seem like much, but it's something real. At zero, you're still dreaming.

The secret of creative work is to make a lot and publish a little. Don't underestimate the power of giving yourself permission to create junk. Most of what you create will be mediocre or bad. But that's okay. You only have to show people the good stuff. Make 100 things, discard 90, and share the 10 best. Create, create, create. Edit, edit, edit.

Opportunities are grains of sand. They slide right past drooping fingers, but an active palm can gather whatever is within reach and shape it into a little castle. It is the act of engaging with the material that gives it shape.
