    One of my friends pointed out Seth Godin’s post about transitioning to a new normal through a slog (at least that’s what I take from this). This idea resonates with me, to a degree, even as it unnerves me – During a slog, we have a chance to accept a new normal, even if it’s…

    Sunk costs as gifts from our past selves

    Embrace your work in progress

    Seth Godin’s post suggesting that you should show your work in progress reminds me about one of the aspects of blogging that appeals to me.

  • “The lens of our attention”

    “The lens of our attention”

    Another wonderful post by Seth Godin about perspective. I love his idea of the “lens of our attention”. Such an awesome way of visualising it that appeals to me as a photographer.
