AI is powerful enough to revolutionize most jobs. But can it start an online business with no budget and go from $0 to profit within 30 days?

I have no idea.

So I decided to run a little experiment and find out.

@visakanv .. and very helpful with softening some hard inner monologues 🙏🏻

[Elena L. @thisiselenal]

@visakanv Happy birthday, @visakanv 🎉Found Introspect when researching hero’s journey (coincidentally, at that time I wanted to do a Notion-based workbook on that topic) and I can only describe it as a glorious work of love ❤️‍🔥Pure, raw, joyfully messy at times

@britton Makes sense, if one can die from a broken heart then one could be restored by a full one. Also, some of the most vibrant and youthful people I’ve met were a couple of Zen teachers in their mid sixties. They had this ageless quality that’s hard to put into words.

@the_wilderless Interesting, care to expand a bit? I was under the impression that Tao at its core is minimalist but its expressions aren’t.

@strangestloop Yep, I noticed a huge shift in energy & outcomes when I started seeing my problems as inquiries rather than troubles. Playing with semantics and frames is really an underrated form of inner work.

@KyKow and most life experiences happen on a timeline.

[Elena L. @thisiselenal]

@KyKow I’m definitely with you on that children would benefit immensely from learning to explore their inner selves early on. And I also think figuring ourselves out in our 30s makes sense because this sort if thing can’t only be intellectually arrived at, you also need experience &

@Prakash70553520 @KyKow the present. And I noticed that while in a certain state I strongly identify with, I tend to remember those things that are in tune with it more than others. Eg: in a state of meaningfulness, I tend to remember things that I used to enjoy or found meaning in.

[Elena L. @thisiselenal]

@Prakash70553520 @KyKow Sure. Basically, I see states as psychological conditions or moods that “color” our experience, both in terms of fleeting moments and life stages. So at any given time, we’re in a state (state of happiness, sadness, peace, fulfillment etc) through which we perceive and experience

[Elena L. @thisiselenal]

@playbookwork Exactly. And this brings us back to the first point: the default path is broken since it’s largely based on survival. And I think we’re beginning to shift to a more sustainable alternative.

[Elena L. @thisiselenal]

I feel there wouldn't be a need for work-life balance if we wouldn't follow a path designed to separate and put them at odds in the first place.

@JasonShen […] means you become open to the truth of it wholly and in a non-discriminating way.

What you do next is up to you. You can sit there and let it be. Or you can move forward and let it go.

[Elena L. @thisiselenal]

@JasonShen I think it all comes down to how one sees acceptance, as a passive or as an active state.

This was often discussed in the Zen school I was a part of since there’s this idea that radical acceptance and embracing “what is” equals non-action.

Point is, accepting something just

[Elena L. @thisiselenal]

@playbookwork Are they though? Because work (doing) is an aspect of life (being). It’s an expression of who we are. So how do they end up separate or misaligned?

[Elena L. @thisiselenal]

@JasonShen […] is precisely what leads to progress.

[Elena L. @thisiselenal]

@JasonShen If you look deeper though, you’ll see it’s mostly a surface level conflict as they aren’t mutually exclusive. Imo, they are interdependent and they build on each other. Acceptance doesn’t necessarily mean resignation; often, seeing things for what they are & letting go
