Praise you. Adapted from
Through the hard times and the good
I have to celebrate you, baby
I have to praise you like I should"
Praise You - Fatboy Slim. [Or is it?]
Original is an spectrum.
A first level comes to things that are only new to you.
A next one comes from adapting things under a new take.
Just like this song. A sample of "Take Yo' Praise" by Camille Yarbrough mixed with many other samples.
It takes things already known in a new way.
The thing is, it's original. It took something already created and gave it an unexpected (and cool) twist.
It's so original it's got its own cover(s). [Google Praise You cover and you'll get a ton of them] 👇
Same happens with you.
You come with a remix of several pieces (your experiences) and through your lens, you bring new things into the world.
That's why I praise you.
Because you're out there, creating things to elevate others. That takes courage. Creating. Coming with something new, original.
Ask yourself: How can you find the place where your things come more original?

In diving, when you’re overwhelmed, you stop everything. Then, you breath. Assess. Decide. Same is in business. While everything seems urgent, you can only do so much. So stop, breath, assess, decide. And to get to that decision, you’ve already thought of a few ways to go about it.
Just as a band starts playing in a house, to small gigs, to more small gigs... all the way to stadiums with thousands of people. It's the same with decisions. The more controlled, low-impact, and low-risk decisions you make, the easier it is to see the patterns to move upwards. It's simpler to stir the wheel and correct direction with small decisions, than to shift everything from one decision. Quantity over quality first, quality over quantity then.
The way to choose better is by choosing more often. The way you decide better is by deciding more often. Practice. Quantity beats quality. It lets you make decisions that train your judgment. You won’t ever have all good decisions. Yet making a decision (even a shit one) can let you stir the boat and correct direction. Waiting for it to disappear won’t fix it.
