Grahambles

Once a container fulfills its purpose, it's time to re-energize it by giving it a new one. The last 50-ish episodes have let me share my story to sort out my philosophy. Now it's time to reorient with a refined challenge: Deliver powerful ideas in 20 minutes or less. It's clear that I can talk. But can I learn to communicate?

You will never be tasked with something beyond your capacities. Meaning, the actual work of your day is always within your means - both ability and resource wise. Tomorrow's work is a different matter. If you don't have the ability to address something today, it's not your job.

Being impatient means you are not present. You want to be anywhere except for where you are right now. To achieve that, you end up negotiating from a place of weakness. You express the willingness to settle for pennies when dollars are on offer. Learn more in this Grahamble.

You are only offended, defensive, or upset about the areas of your life that are over leveraged. Meaning, you protect what is vulnerable. Growth is learning from these events to become stronger with a deeper root while also letting go of attachment. True freedom is the inability for anyone to hurt you.

Expanding on the topic of forgiveness from the last episode, I realized that forgiveness has a future-focused aspect as well. You must learn from the situation and choose to see things more clearly.

Believing in God means pursuing an intention without expectation.. It's an individual relationship with a common experience. You shall know a tree by its fruits.

Everyone is playing some version of the status game, even if that's a rejection of it. Some people choose to play the God game. Those people pick up their cross voluntarily. But rather than suffering for the sake of suffering, this is an adventure into what interests you or bothers you (both are the same). For those who pursue this work, their yoke is easy and the burden is light.

We're all delusional by default. And the challenge is that we're stuck with our limited perception. No one is removed enough to see the whole game clearly. So how do you know if your delusion is helping or hurting? Well, there is the obvious answer that your body offers. But for long-term efforts that involve lots of wandering through the desert, it's not always so clear. I think out loud about this problem in this episode.
