14973 - Layers

What if you could peel back the layers you’ve built up over time (and the layers on top of those layers) to reengage the 10 year old inside of you. What would she say?

Let me:

Find focus and clarity daily.

Continue to see life as a game of puzzles.

Deepen relationships and put energy into others.

Strengthen those closest to me.

Surround myself with intelligence.

Seek hyper-realism

Always know where I’m going while enjoying the journey.

Live in harmony with myself and the world.

What are the implications of our possessing brains that have been pre-programmed with a hundred million years of knowledge?  Should we seek to better understand human nature instead of changing it? Perhaps the sweet spot is understanding true human nature and identifying where it doesn’t match with current human behavior.

If you believe that people can be selflessly selfish (sacrificing self for the team is ultimately benefit) and believe there is a competitive advantage from having that mentality, there is infinite potential (within a free market system) to capitalize on the advantage.

We are economic animals in the wild. We must make expected value calculations to optimize the energy we expend to find food. Those that do this well prosper while those that do this this poorly perish through the process of natural selection.

14962 - greater goals

The laws of the universe reward cooperation.  Just as dust coalesces to form great mountains, so do we accomplish great feats in harmony with one another. Cooperation is the secret to great accomplishment, and happiness, and fulfillment.  Working together towards a greater goal is the goal.

What are our (mental + emotional) goals as a body unit? What are our goals as a couple?  What are our goals as a family?  What are our goals as an organization?  What are our goals as a nation?  What are our goals as a human race? And how do we work together in partnership.

14961 - A.P. MEDITATION

I do not fear death, so I will not fear life. I live to experience everything there is to experience, all the joy, all the pain, all the life, and all the death. 

I hope others can see what I see, walking through life with eyes wide open. And mind wide open, knowing that we will never know it all and that we know everything at the same time.

We are within the universe and the universe is within us. We are but a collection of energy that happens to be in the here right now. Tomorrow, we’re gone.  Dead and reborn.

14958 - Educate the Middle

Commitment to values is much stronger than commitment to money. Pushing the edge of reality into conception and moving those concepts into the real realm is a sweet spot to operate in. The question is about who is being served and how they’re being served. Educate the middle.

19457 - Puzzles

Life is not the things you own or the job you have. It’s not the mistakes you’ve made and there is no future. Life is the experience of roaming the earth, seeing this dimension of reality. There are puzzles that we all must figure out daily, some harder than others. For example, how do we get along with others? How do we make money? How do we get from point A to point B? Interestingly, the harder the puzzle the greater the reward for mastering it. Life is a game.
