Sharing the miracle of what one has learned about harnessing the wind’s power. We can’t all wind up on the same islands together.Īnyhow, I’ve wasted a lot of time and energy trying to redirect some of the wind filling my sails to help others. From the deck of their own ship.Īnd there are lots of possible destinations. If something you’ve taught them about sailing helps them correct course to wherever it is they’re trying to navigate, that’s great.īut they ultimately accomplished the task of navigation.
(If you’re not subscribed to my YouTube channel, you can take care of that here.)īut sooner or later, both will be off again on their individual journeys into the unknown.īut when you try to tether ships together…Īll too often, the ship bows start to knock.Īnd no two sails interpret the wind quite the same. Or just hang out on a YouTube Live like this one we did for my birthday: Though to reach some destinations, there really are only singular and definitive ways to reach the end.Įither way, if student and teacher are lucky enough to meet somewhere on the road, they can break bread. Our siblings on this long-suffering earth can only do the things they are going to do.Īnd those of us who have traveled to a particular destination, can only show the way – the way we took, amongst many possible paths. The best you can do is offer inspiration and encouragement. ( Especially if they’re skeptical.)īut getting people to complete the exercises? Anyone can repeat the process, even if they’re a skeptic at first. There is the do-this, do-that of the Memory Palace. Share with them some of what you know and the story of how you came to understand it. The best you can do is reach out and try to connect. Some people translate it as happiness, but it actually refers to “flourishing.”īut even then, you cannot give flourishing to another human being. Most of them are far from impressive, let alone correct. Whatever the reason, I have somehow wound up with a tendency to try and make others happy.įirst off, “happy” is mostly meaningless. Maybe it’s all the Romantic poetry I read. So whether you’re 41 or any other age, let’s dive in with these mistakes life has burned into my memory and that I could have done without.ġ.
I wish I had known about that unique set of strategies anyone can use at least 21 years sooner! You will avoid SO much pain and suffering. I believe if you pay that final point the most attention…
They are in no particular order of importance.īut I’ve stuck the one with a tutorial at the end. Like the 4.1 I’m going to discuss in this post. Heck, in many cases, they’re even desirable.Īfter all, we learn from our mistakes when picking up a language – including our native mother tongues.īut some life mistakes are probably avoidable.
