I was looking at quotes about success and it was really interesting how different they are, how many mention failure, and how many list different requirements to succeed. But I thought this was interesting: Kevin Spacey said, “Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.”

Success is something that isolates us, he says. It separates us from all the things that really matter - community. Not a common perspective but interesting as we’re talking today about the kind of success we chase after.

Personal Update:

A late-night rescue of my teenage son reminds me of the importance of gratitude in all circumstances.
