I was so inspired by @PixarSoul that I decided to make "Soul" my guiding theme for 2021. Here are 6 ideas from the movie, and Jazz in general, I'd like to keep in mind this year

🧵👇
đź’Ş Carpe Diem

Seize the day. Enjoy the little things.

đź›  Learn by Doing

Don’t get stuck in theory. Rather, like a Jazz musician, learn and grow through real world trial and error.

A good related quote from @JamesClear:
🌊 Find Flow

Do more of what energizes me (building stuff, playing the piano, reading, meaningful convos, helping others).
🎷 Improvise

Counterbalance efficiency and methodical execution with intuition and curiosity led wandering. Don’t be afraid to improvise.

A good related passage from @JeffBezos's 2018 letter to shareholders titled Intuition, Curiosity, and the Power of Wandering:
👻 Don’t be a Lost Soul

In Soul, they portray lost souls as people who become so obsessed with something that it disconnects them from life. It’s too easy for this to happen in our always connected and dopamine filled world.
🎹 Learn Jazz

Continue to learn how to play the piano, particularly Jazz. I’ve been really enjoying @joytunescom and @HeyOpenStudio. I'm also excited to finally experience my first @podia powered course. Great stuff @spencerfry + team 👏
