Being still is best one can do for oneself.
In a world where most rather be stimulated or doped, stillness is a portal that connects you with the divine.
I don’t mean it in a “tree-hugging” kind of way.
Flow requires silence and often solitude.
You will not change the world consuming Instagram or reading Twitter.
It is far more likely that you’ll find all the solution to your pain if you isolate for a few days.
As you guard your system from any external forces, you will connect to the only source that truly matters.

Quickly I realized that time management is a crucial part of being a good VC. Being “default to yes” is a poor strategy. Focus is key.
This morning I was reflecting that for me, in my perception of reality the pandemic has finally ended and we can finally move on.
