Send the following Big Idea to a friend:
"Get rid of your fear of failure, your tensions about succeeding, you will be yourself. Relaxed. You wouldn’t be driving with your brakes on. That’s what would happen."
~ Anthony de Mello, 20th century Jesuit priest from Awareness
What an amazing image.
Can you imagine driving your car with your brakes on ALL. The. Time?
Yikes.
Get rid of your fear of failure.
Relax.
Be yourself.
Ahhhh…

“PhilosophersNotes is an idea whose time has come. Starting from some of the world's most important books, Brian's masterful syntheses combine deep insights, humor, and practical applications in a manner ideally suited for our busy lives. I'm hooked!”
“PhilosophersNotes are like healthy, energizing snacks for the mind, heart and soul! This is such a superb idea, and Brian has such a natural, infectiously appealing way of making it relevant to just about everybody. For avid personal-development aficionados, PhilosophersNotes serve as a sampler plate of the very best reads out there, making it easier to decide which new books to crack open next, and which classics deserve a fresh look. For rush-rush types who want to be clued in about the latest and best books on personal and professional wisdom (but who don’t have time to read much) PhilosophersNotes perform an invaluable service, distilling and concentrating a whole lot of huge ideas into bite size, eminently digestible morsels. For readers like ours — motivated men and women who rank achieving their personal potential as a top priority — PhilosophersNotes point a delightful, synchronicity-inspired way forward. Because somehow (and I wish I knew how Brian does this), every Note you read on a given day feels like precisely *the* Note you needed to read that day. Keep ‘em coming, Brian!”
