Stream of consciousness is fun and life is a grand experiment. This blog reflects that feel.

The true purpose of life — feel incredibly lucky. You were once, one in a million egg in your mother’s womb. The odds are intoxicating.

If you wake up in the middle of the night, so be it. It used to be the norm and humanity did OK.

Continue to believe your story is less interesting — the skill you have in spades is the rarest in this world — listening.

Side kicker: most smart people in your circle read privately and make their more public conversations with you better — take advantage of it.

Being more selfish is a good thing — the mind is not an earthen pot to be filled, it’s a fire to be kindled — kindle it with kindness for yourself first.

Surprisingly, being hard on yourself is easier than being kind! True for you?

Pace around more — science says so. Nervous energy is in the eyes of the beholder.

Being Angry is Ok — It’s normal. Being self-aware on how you react is where the juice is.
