What is it like to be you?

The coolest thing is that the answer to that question is in flux - it changes with every new season of my life - and accepting there is not 'one me' is one of the most freeing things I've ever experienced. Currently, being me is interesting, tiring, meaningful, loving, curious, impatient, fun, and sometimes downright weird.

How can you measure whether an idea is good or bad?

Experience might give you a hint, intuition another, and then all that is left to do is try and be ready to fail and learn.

Transformation is:

Def: Transformation is TRANS-formation - a profound shift in the very form of your thinking/feeling. Unlike IN-formation, which only requires you to pour some more content into your existing form of mind.

TRANSFORMATION TRANSCRIBED
