Another reflection:
People with positive sum mentalities are the best.
Want to get ahead in life? Start genuinely rooting for others to succeed.
Adopt a positive sum mentality—when one of us wins, we all win. It'll make you a magnet for the highest quality people.
Video of Chiefs fans tackling one of the alleged shooters. Heroes. We should focus on making the people who stop shooters, and not the shooters themselves, famous.
The hardest part of entrepreneurship is the uncertainty that all your sacrifice will be for nothing.
That we give up everything now for nothing later.
But then you remember the life you walked away from to pursue your dream and realize there’s no going back.
So you keep going.
One of my favorite ancient proverbs:
He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey.
He who blames himself is halfway there.
He who blames no one has arrived.
I think it accurately describes the journey to personal and spiritual growth:
Level 1: Negative events cause us to look outward at how the world is against us.
Level 2: Negative events cause us to look inward at how we might have controlled or better handled a situation.
Level 3: Events are no longer judged as positive or negative, but are just allowed to exist.
Most of us never reach Level 3. We spend most of our lives in some mix of Level 1 and 2.
There is so much power to be found in freeing your mind from the need to judge.
In allowing events to exist without the application of a narrative layer.
The Paradox of Change says that the only constant in life is change.
Entropy is reality.
It’s the one thing you can always count on—the only constant.
Embrace chaos—be dynamic, flow with it, and avoid judging it.
