Mental road trip

Quote about talking to people different than you
Yes and, help others see the world differently.

Seek out a million ways to think about things.

Talk to the crazy ones.

Read and watch the crazy ones.

Eventually, be the crazy one for others.

Note: Remember, change your world to change the world.

Something big is going down

Upper left drawing is a brain. In 2008, didn’t know that the big box holding the four smaller boxes would become “HQ”.

Something big is going down.

What then?

It’s like a perfect storm.

Never been in this life-place before.

It’s a bit like leveling up to middle school, or high school. Or for some of us, college. Or maybe buying your first home.

It’s something special.

Uncharted territory.

That’s all i can say for now.

When you can’t compete

When you send a thank you to a team, send a diverse offering of goodies.

When you can’t compete on traditional criteria, break the rules.

Make your own set of rules.

Keep them to yourself.

Insight: Surprising your competition is your only hope if you can’t compete in traditional ways. How cool and exciting is that?

Day 2 grade

Florida alligator
Today, 4:00 PM. Grocery Store retention pond. Tourists give themselves an A if they see a big gator up close.

Grade given for second day not writing for two-hours first thing in the morning…a radical change after 13 consecutive years.

Another C.

Average.

Like day one, no burdens, no epiphanies.

So yes, average.

For sure though, it is like trying to cross your arms the opposite way you always cross your arms. You can do it fairly easily, but it requires an unusually deeper level of concentration for something so simple and routine.

Fun first morning

LinkedIn recommendations graph
It was fun to realize that the giving is three times greater than the receiving.

Aware of how different the morning was. Enjoyed leaning into discomfort.

For starters, didn’t awaken until almost 6 AM. This was on purpose. Was tempted to feel uncomfortable by the later start.

But since there was no writing to jump into, got out of bed when it felt right instead of when a busy day historically recommended.
