I’m operating with selfish motives, but I’ll tell you what they are.
Yesterday I asked, “What’s a single sentence metaphor describing the current landscape of your mind?” and… damn!! Your responses were powerful as fuck.
“I’m a T-Rex at the buffet of life, hungry and capable,
but feel like my arms are too short to take what I want.”
Wrapped in a vail of humor was a right hook of introspection. I know that feeling.
My mind: a jungle and I’m a boy too short to reach the fruit in the trees, but I sought to change that. I knew that a low hanging vine, branch, or even a fallen limb could make all the difference in satiating my hunger. What I needed was a prompt.
My motive for this series is inherently selfish, but extremely simple:
“When one teaches, two learn.” ~ Robert A. Heinlein
The last three days has been filled with a wealth of introspective conversations, personal realizations, and astonishingly deep connections — because of you.
Instead of a long email today, I’m going to spend time responding to more of these…
The last email pushed another 39 people to jump ship and it makes me appreciate all of you receiving these messages that much more. As Christian D. said early on:
“The good thing is that even if the quantity drops over time the quality increases.”
What’s the simplest thing you never thought would work until it did?
