New experiences in 2023:
- Hearing Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger live at the Berkshire conference, feeling inspired and energized
- Hiking in the Rockies in winter and healing in nature
- Experiencing my first Burn - helping build an acrylic cat in the playa, meditating in the temple about my grandma, and meeting great people
- Selling my first company and learning so much along the way; seeing my growth as an entrepreneur
- Exploring the Warhol / Basquiat exhibition and strolling the streets of Paris, reflecting on the bigger picture in life
- Visiting Nasdaq and witnessing a closing bell for the first time, hoping to be back with my own company one day

Reflections from 2023:

- Build a business that you understand and that is profitable (Buffett/Munger)

- Focus on one thing - priority was a singular, not plural, word in the 1400s (Essentialism)

- When a seed is planted in your mind, take the first step (action > ruminating)

Reflections from my Vipassana meditation:
- Look within, because we can only change ourselves
- The root cause of suffering is attachment and craving
- Change is the only constant
- Awareness and equanimity, in good times and bad, helps the mind stay calm and weather any storm

@iamdulma When I think of community, I think of a group of people who share common values and feel a strong emotional connection to the vision/mission of the brand.
