Persistence & a supportive community are more important than IQ.

You are the best thing you can invest in. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Here's how I think about investing in myself:

“My love language is don’t talk to me when I’m in the writing zone.” – @TheWritingGuru

"Not everything important is measurable, and not everything measurable is important." –Elliot Eisner

Don’t believe all the talking heads: You aren’t “this one thing” away from your dreams. But you are just a bunch of small, daily things done daily for the next 6-12 months away. Consistent compounding wins.
