The Looking Paradox
Sometimes you have to stop looking in order to find what you're looking for.
Ever notice that when you're looking for something, you rarely find it?
Stop looking—what you’re looking for may just find you.
This applies to love, business, happiness, & life.
The Fancy Car Paradox
You see a fancy car and dream of the respect you'd get by driving it...while ignoring the person actually in it.
We all want respect. We believe fancy stuff will earn it.
It won't.

The Desire Paradox
Desire leads to more achievement and more suffering.
Desire is a powerful force for growth, but the quest for more often distracts from the beauty of enough.
Pursue growth, but never forget the beauty in simplicity.
California is like a crazy beautiful ex-girlfriend. You look back and only remember the good.
But as soon as you see her again, you realize how she stole your money all the time, had terrible friends, & tried to destoy your business by telling on u for everything.
In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.
