Welcome each new year, yet do not expect it to change your life.

dad

Change.

We spend our life adapting to three types of change:

  1. Change we see coming
  2. Change we never see coming
  3. Change we wish to create

So today is the start of Memorial Day weekend (2024).

It is also New Year’s Day 2025 (as this finally publishes 7+ months after i write it).

So weird.

So fun.

So at peace.

So content.

As of today, i wouldn’t change the way i write.

Happy New Year.

Walking is one of my favorite thinking laboratories.

dad

Of the many things you can do while walking, thinking about things that are not generally thought about is one of my favorites.

Not only that, but you can think about uncommon things at the levels you want and need to think about.

Thinking this way enhances your ability to solve your biggest challenges and create your greatest opportunities.
