Dan Murray-Serter 🧠 on LinkedIn: How to make better checklists than 99% of people. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟳 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀… | 37 comments

"My approach to what I do in my job… and it might even be the approach to my life… is that everything I do is the most important thing I do. Whether it’s a play or the next film. It is the most important thing. I know it’s not going to be the most important thing, and it might not be close to being the best, but I have to make it the most important thing.



That means I will be ambitious with my job and not with my career. That’s a very big difference…because if I’m ambitious with my career, everything I do now is just stepping-stones leading to something… a goal I might never reach, and so everything will be disappointing. But if I make everything important, then eventually it will become a career.



Big or small, we don’t know. But at least everything was important."



— Mads Mikkelsen

I just want to be able to feel safe enough to slow down to hear myself.

Slowly is the fastest way to get you where you want to be.

“I read a lot. I listen a lot. I think a lot. But so little remains. The books I read, their plots, their protagonists fade… Names of people, books, cities. They are already fading away. Even the titles of films I’ve seen recently...they have already faded… Everything that I see, or read, or listen to, connects, translates into moods, bits of surroundings, colors… With me, everything is mood, mood, or else...simply nothingness.” — Jonas Mekas

“Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you are in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.”

— Deepak Chopra

“People sometimes fail to live
because they are always 
preparing to live”

— Alan Watts
