Sometimes the thing you’re trying to find never comes to life because you’re thinking too small.

It’s counterintuitive like that.

You think that if you make it super small it’s easier to achieve. But what you find is that dreaming small puts you around spaces and people who also dream small, if at all. So your enthusiasms is met with their fear that it won’t be the most perfect, singular thing they’ve been looking for to change everything without taking ANY risk.

But when you dream bigger, you end up around bigger dreamers, who understand that the magic comes from taking big swings.

So when you have that idea, it’s great to start small. But don’t try to win small. Go for a big win. Find the people excited to take risks. And when you find them, keep them in your atmosphere.

You’ll need them. And they’ll need you.

That’s what makes it all work out.

Kanye once stated that he’s this generation’s closest thing to Einstein. I find this to be egregious because his statement blatantly ignores the accomplishments of Kevin McAllister in Home Alone.

Kevin, at eight years old, developed a fully integrated home defense system using household appliances, improvised engineering, and a working knowledge of human psychology.

And unlike Einstein, Kevin successfully tested his theories under real-world conditions.

Twice.

This dude was vibe engineering decades before Silicon Valley figured out how to monetize it.

No blueprints. No formal training. Just household objects and an unreasonable amount of confidence.

Let that sink in.

Complex solutions don’t solve simple problems.

I need more of this energy! We are SOOOOO back!

The problem isn’t out there. It’s in here.
