Many years ago, I heard some creative say something about how the reward we get from sharing an idea stimulates the emotions/thoughts/feelings as if you actually shared the finished thing; so we are compelled to do so, but in doing so it deflates the source motivation.

This is a much more thoughtful & well-written & beautiful expression of how we act on these instincts for validation & gratification. ✨

Let out a sigh of relief after reading this. To take action without feeling the need to explain yourself, that’s what it’s all about. Charming read, as always

Wow yes this speaks to me on so many levels. I had to step off social media for this exact reason, it is not my time to be sharing every single move I make...but rather build in the shadows until I am ready to come into the light. Thank you gabi 💙 this is a good one

somehow this is precisely what I wanted to hear, that's you. "it asks for your hands, not your tongue".

Thank you!

I did the opposite of this recently because I got excited and, like you mentioned, thought sharing would hold me accountable. But sharing did nothing but dissolve the whimsy of the process

I’ve gave it a lot of thought on sharing plans but never came up with anything. I guess there’s things we only discover through the collective mind. Thanks for sharing.

placing the quote "An idea is an invitation to a sandbox with an infinity pool's edge. It asks for your hands, not your tongue." above the lab (aka desk). such a synchronicity, such a confirmation. thank youuuuuuu
