A field note

The Manifesto

Ten lines I keep coming back to. Not affirmations — operating instructions.

The Manifesto poster: ten gilded lines on a wine background.
  1. Simplify.
  2. Cultivate self-trust.
  3. Accept success.
  4. Put energy into growth.
  5. Align goals with values.
  6. Possibility is limitless.
  7. Forget the how.
  8. Clarify desires.
  9. Decide faster.
  10. Slow down.

I wrote these for myself and kept returning my clients to them. The power isn't in any single line — it's in the tensions between them. Decide faster, then slow down. Possibility is limitless, so simplify. Read the full essay, or keep the one-page version on your desk.
