Dude let me hit that.

Kidding. It did get me thinking as well. Found it worthy of meditation...the concept of inner trust on matters you do not feel you are an expert on...the thought that you alone are best qualified to bear your output fruitfully...recognizing the role that patience plays in getting it out there correctly. Kind of the antithesis of our modern social collaborative environment in one sense, but I imagine even collaborative endeavors probably benefit from principles who's input comes from a deeply thoughtful, personal, and internal place. The sum can be social while the parts are volunteered from the internal.
