Tweet of the Week: @operancoffee

We are constantly bombarded by advice, feedback, lecturing, trolling, pontificating and tons more information that is not helpful to us moving anything forward.

The internet is the most powerful tool the world has ever known for sharing and for learning new things. The problem is the signal to noise ratio.

Now that anyone can broadcast anything literally any time of day, it is hard to get noticed. But getting noticed is a topic for a different post.

The powerful reminder in this tweet as I read it is that the pull to conform to what other people suggest is right for you or for the world can be quite strong. Sometimes that advice is great and will move you forward. But frequently that advice is vague, without context and not helpful.

Listen to your inner voice and let it steer you while also always remaining willing to accept new information. That has been the key to surviving and thriving throughout history but is especially so now.
