This is the best I can do Fix or tolerate Does it still communicate? Is it legible? Does it matter? Learning to look at myself in the mirror and still function

Drifting into the whirlpool of irrelevance Social identities and cultural expiration dates Freedom from the bondage of superficial information

Compound emotional interest News and feeds – everything you should be ignorant of but can’t be Removing one thing from a list can make all the difference

Splitting your work life and doubling the work A day job not a career Why the majority of time is spent on the pointless “It’s the little things”, but big things first Existential distillation or the essential oil of being Revisiting the death bed analogy

Where the heart is needs to be what matters most Questioning the motives, perspectives, assumptions and hidden agendas Genuinely good intentions is all you should expect and is probably good enough When in doubt, assume the best and forgive the rest

Questioning mythology “False” and/or dangerous narratives Literalism and Actualism versus truth Orienting around a story

How much is my success going to cost? Gatekeepers, Insiders and Gurus for hire Pay-per-dream Map of the stars’ homes Bartending academy Motivarti and the tech schools fold The difference between college, trade school, mentorships and actual education

Drawing: Observational versus construction versus gestural versus cartooning
