Thanks for posting this. I'm committed to my current venture, but often wonder how long it will be until my curiosity takes me somewhere else. But Tony's line about "would you be able to say you’ve been doing what you truly care about today" is a pretty great litmus test for anything we do.


I needed this as much as you did. Best of luck to you. In the face of death, all our pettiness falls away.


The best trick is to try to realise what's important without requiring the face of death to get you there.


I was thinking about ego death. In my view, that's where truly great ideas and insights come from.


Like Randy Nelson said, "The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.”
