Facts of Life

September 10, 2024

Hello, dear Reader,

Meeting the facts of life is immensely liberating.

So, today's newsletter is all about that. Meeting what is, not what we wish it to be.

In this weekly letter, I put together my favorite 3 tweets or short posts of this week, 1 or 2 ideas of others, and a question for you to ponder at the end.

Enjoy:

IDEA 1

"Rushing is a clear sign of living in a misunderstanding."

IDEA 2

"The ego is scared of not being in control. The fact. You aren't. The truth? Who you think you are is an illusion created around the idea that there is such a thing as control."

IDEA 3

Most of what you justify as necessary thinking to yourself is the addiction to thought. Almost all of your best decisions didn't come from your conscious mind.

IDEA FROM OTHERS:

"What we perceive as being outside of us is a fancy and elegant projection of what we have inside; everything we experience is inside...The trick of perception is the trick of mistaking an inner world for the outside world..."

― Gary Weber, Evolving Beyond Thought: Updating Your Brain's Software

QUESTION: Is there any problem outside your thoughts?
