so much weight in a singular moment or a singular outcome.
There's this like painting technique.
And I promise I have a point where I'm going to tie this in called pointillism.
And it's where like the artist puts a bunch of dots on a canvas.
And when you're looking at it, you're like, what are you doing?
You're just putting a bunch of dots on a canvas.
And then when you zoom out, all of the dots create some sort of painting, some sort of like picture of something, a tree, a landscape, a person.
It's really cool if you look at pointillism.
And I like to think about...
All of the moments in my life are just a dot on my canvas.
Like I'm not living and dying by this one dot.
My life isn't like make or break by this like one dot.
Did I get this speaking engagement or did I not?
Did I hit the New York Times or did I not?
Was I the perfect parent today or not?
But...
When you take a second to like step and look back at what's coming together, you can ask yourself like, well, do I like where the collective dots are heading?
Because in the end, that's all that matters is not like one moment, but a collection of them.
And so a lot of times we think about making it as like what I was talking about at the beginning of this podcast, like this acquisition or this one thing, this one moment, when really it's a collection of a bunch of them.
And then we have these moments in time, if we choose to take it, where we take a step back, look and ask ourselves, do I like the direction this is heading?
