Laws, mind

Stephen Hawking quote about the Universe
Because there is a law such a love…Earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old. Laws are maybe 6,000 years old, at best. We know nothing about how our universe works. The science experts are trying to educate us, but we find comfort in religious dogma.

What are the laws of life that are time-tested, yet have no legal consequence?

Blinding flashes of the obvious have been hidden from most because most are followers.

Leaders need followers.

So do snake-oil salespeople.

It’s a self-fulfilling ecosystem.

Then there’s you.

What do you believe?

Is it different than society’s view?

How does that make you feel?

Are you convicted and committed?

Is this a liability?

Is this an asset?

imma go with asset.

Transformational asset.

No one is breaking any laws in this space.

Live and let live.

To each their own.

Norms, mind

post it note think differently
Brainstorming in 2019. This is my visual for “thinking INSIDE the box”.

Classic question for all ages, what is normal?

Normal?

.thinking .differently like it’s my job.

Thinking differently disrupts friends and colleagues relationships with you.

Why?

Because you ask questions they’ve never been asked.

Ever!

And your questions, that you first tested on yourself, they are deeply uncomfortable.

Why?

Because you poured your heart and soul into discovering them.

And that is what changed your life…these new questions.

Ps. It is a privilege to write this post, along with the 32,000+- other posts i’ve published in my lifetime.

Leadership is BS

Read the green text bubble. While on the first six-mile leg of an 11-mile walking day, sent a group text to a dozen college buddies. Then the green bubble below…

Suspected, because it’s a holiday, that there could be some bandwidth for others to chime in. Sharing some photos from the thread for posterity. Real life in real time. The 13 of us have known each other since 1977-78. We generally have had annual get-togethers since then. Here are some photos in today’s thread…

Only takes one splash to create a splash party.

Since returning from Australia four days ago, we are slowly normalizing our home routine.

Worth noting we went from three weeks of Australia Winter (temps ranged from 50-70) to Florida Summer with heat index of 110 all week.

Didn’t walk as much as planned in Australia because of the morning’s ‘cold weather’. So being back home, i’m trying to ‘make up for lost mileage’.

This reminds me to remind myself…

Never let society’s embarrassingly low health standards be yours. Set polarizing, high health standards.

This is true leadership.

If you’re not leading yourself first, you’re a puppet.

You’re welcome.

Einstein Average Man

“If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make a living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher.  I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances”. — Albert Einstein

Meanwhile in my zip code, there’s a sea of upscale vehicles, yet the 1990 Toyota suites me perfectly.

There’s even a dinner-plate sized dent on the driver’s front fender.  Was going to have it repaired until I realized how much that road-rage induced dent signified how lucky I am to still be alive.

In America, we are constantly tempted to keep up with the Joneses.  Why?   Because we are afraid of who we really are.

Would you rather be loved for who you’re not or hated for who you are?
