“When we are holding tightly to what success is, it’s harder to get there, whereas if we can be more present and just enjoy the process we’re doing ultimately we allow what meant to be.”
“It’s all very comparative and competitive, we don’t talk about feelings: Do you enjoy your job? Or what do you enjoy about your job? everything is just measured by something that’s external.”
