It's like surfing - finding the balance between engaging with life and remaining lucid/centered.

To follow our desires, but not be ruled by them.

This is what following what feels most alive feels like for me right now.

Our environment (including our own mind) is filled with things that will pull our attention into them.

This isn't bad, there's a reason certain things attract us. But the trick is to not lose ourselves in the process.

I quit my job at Google with no plan.

A little reckless?

Maybe.

But not because I lacked clarity.

Clarity is misunderstood. It’s not about having the perfect plan or having it all figured out. It’s not about knowing exactly where you’ll be in five years. Or even two.

The one you’ve either been putting off or the one you don’t even know you’ve been making because you didn’t have enough clarity. Until now.

I quit my job at Google soon thereafter. I had no plan.

Just a question.

What did I want to cook?

At the coworking space in my gym in San Diego, I'd overhear people talking about Claude Code and vibe coding.

At my new gym in Bali, I'm overhearing two guys speaking German, with the occasional phrase I recognize: "whisper flow." "vibe coding."

We're all the same.

Yeah, I do think the teeth/jaw are pretty essential to overall health. In TCM, each tooth represents an organ and other qualities of health as well, which is why getting a root canal is discouraged.

I think the Reviv guy is right that the jaw is a huge lever that affects the whole fascia system to either expand or collapse. Not quite convinced it's the only one though.
