I love him like the way people love cookies or Pixar. There’s just something about Seth.

Whenever I read his books, blog or watch a talk I feel fuzzy inside. It doesn’t matter if the topic is relevant or not, he always gets me inspired. I admire him in a way typically reserved for activists and world changers.

I’ve been feeling a bit unmotivated lately.

Sometimes, I lose the pep in my step. More often than that, I get anxious about whatever so-called plateau I’ve created for myself.
