The [..] lie is that we're not afraid.via The first lie (*) by Seth Godin (*).
We're afraid.
Afraid to lead, to make a ruckus, to convene. Afraid to be vulnerable, to be called out, to be seen as a fraud.
The connection economy isn't based on steel or rails or buildings [or any relationship, really]. It's built on trust (*) and hope (*) and passion (*).

The irony is that I feel like a conduit for some greater serendipity (*). Maybe that's what some of the more process-oriented photographers are looking for too. [..] it feels like something important happened. OK, it's just one little cosmic accident but it feels like something important. Humanity in a nutshell.via Upside Down Hunter (*) by Blake Andrews (*).
Something I believe in wholeheartedly is embracing whatever it is that you fear (*) the most. It’s the only way to come to peace (*) with yourself and allow yourself to live fully without regret (*).via Vivienne Gucwa with Sony at PhotoPlus Expo 2013 (*) by Vivienne Gucwa (*).
