Judith van Praag's insight:

If you're stuck, knowing you're not alone may help you move along further and faster.

Even if you're not stuck but pondering new adventures, sharing your ideas with others may help you step across the threshold.

Find support for your endeavors by joining a team that cheers you on.

Online(,) power is in the numbers.
