“Performance mindsets don’t work like they said—they either don’t work, or they don’t last. And they’re the predominant approach right now. We can’t perform forever. It’s simply not sustainable. In the end, only time wins. Eventually, each one of us will either fail out, injure out, age out, or burn out.”

“If you love rock ’n’ roll, your favorite bands give your life continuity. They keep your memories alive and accessible. They bond you to your friends. They link who you are to who you were. They endure even as the rest of your life fades into the past.”
― Steven Hyden, Long Road: Pearl Jam and the Soundtrack of a Generation

“you can cultivate a way to question your belief in failure or loosen its grip on your motivation, your life will open up in ways you can’t even imagine.”

“being overly performative works against our brain’s natural motivation, protective instincts and instead weakens our ability to change. It doesn’t have to be this way. By adopting more of an iterative approach and mindset, one that focuses on progress over performance, we can unlock powerful, lasting change—for ourselves and the world.”
