App. Game. Project. Team Member. Opportunity. Book. There is always a “NEXT” something, and if you want it to succeed, you better make sure you are prepared to do the work that goes into that NEXT thing. Because if you’re not, it won’t be the NEXT thing, but just a thing you put some energy into that didn’t go anywhere.

That moment between you leaping into the air and before you hit the water is one of bliss and satisfication, because you did it, you made the decision and you’ve already gone further than others have. And then you hit the water,
