Ex white collar worker. Quit to explore the world (exterior). Came home to do the inner work (interior). Now, figuring out how to bridge the gap ❤️‍🔥

"Get rid of anxiety in 30 days or your money back" Honestly, what bs - I want to slap these people! If you come across a promise like this….avoid. Real inner work is a process that takes time… Don't buy into the cheap marketing bs. If you want to dive into this type of

When I was a kid I asked lot's of questions… Like a shit ton. My most common question was… "But why?" And the response I disliked the most was… "Just because" It made me want to know even more… And on reflection there's a lot of wisdom in the curiosity of four year old

There is no one size solution to life, no playbook that can tell you what to do and when to do it. Meet life on its merits, trust yourself, own your mistakes and do not play small. Happy Tuesday.

status is a funny thing... my sense is that we're all prone to being drawn into status seeking to some extent, but the reasons for doing so are usually hidden from our awareness (aka; unconsciously). it's not inherently a bad thing and kind of makes sense because the desire for

Discovering who you are is in a lot of ways about discovering who you are not. Because once the mirror is wiped clean you don't need to go searching for yourself anymore.... You're right there, like you always have been, like you always will be.

Inner conflict doesn't mean you're broken. It just means you have multiple perspectives within you that have opposing viewpoints. To heal the conflict, apply similar conflict resolution strategies you would between two friends that were having a disagreement.

Your ability to witness the complexity of an external system, be it in nature, economics or society indicates a similar capacity to witness your own inner system. The lesson then is to look for what works well externally and apply it internally.

A mental model for mental models (aka; a meta-mental model): Make the effort to understand what makes each mental model work. You need to make it click within your mind, otherwise it's like collecting random assortments of lego but never building something out of them. You

You're not a singular individual but a dynamic, fluid, ever evolving complex organism. So don't try and put yourself in a box, respect the marvellous complexity of which you are.

At the same time, don't disown systems, discipline and perseverance. They too are an aspect of the dynamic construct that you are. The 'right' way to use them is bottom up not top down.

A lot of people's problems would disappear if they simply did what they actually wanted to do and not what was most rational or logical. Rationality is a powerful tool, but for too many it's their master.

The leading edge of personal development is based around deep, loving enquiry into what makes you the way you are (warts and all).

Three ways to solve any of your problems (most are only using #2): 1. Height. ⟹ Gaining higher perspectives on the problem where seeing it in a new light changes/clarifies the nature of the problem. 2. Breadth. ⟹ Expanding one's skill set in a given domain in order to better
