A lot of success in life comes down to:

• Cultivate the taste/judgment to recognize an excellent opportunity when it comes along

• Bounce around a lot; increase your surface area to luck & serendipity

• Have the confidence and initiative to seize the moment when it arrives

So I want to do this thing, I also want to do this other thing

Ok let's do it. Oh wow, I did it

How did it go? Did you like it? Which thing did you like about it?

I liked that thing (nice!) and I'm going to do more of it (ok)

*loops*

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building roc.camera, writings: july.rocks

Also generally starting with a premise of asking myself:
- Is that really true, when people say that? 
- How does it work?
- Why do other people think so, is that true?
- What am I missing here?
- Why didn't it work before?
- Why am I drawn to it?
- Does it really need to be done this way?
- Do I need to slow down or speed up?
- Do I need to rest or is this a bad idea?
- Am I rushing this? or trying to do too much?
- Why am I so fascinated by this?

it also greatly enriches the other 20% 

because then, i'm like yeah i know what to do

Very few times in my life I've come across situations where a good nap or a long walk didn't fix more than 80% of my problems. Most of my problems arise from not willing to give myself or my forgive my future self for taking the time off (for whatever reason)
