April 9th, 2022: Greetings from Austin. It feels like summer here already, with most days in the 70s or 80s. Hoping to get out and paddleboard on the river sometime in the next week. I was on The Deep End with Marshall Kosloff this week. He was such a great interviewer! We talked about empty media narratives about work, the word “sacrifice,” finding work worth doing, traditional success metrics such as homeownership & more.
Wow. This hit me like a tonne of bricks.
I’ve been trying to get ahead for years.
Not being present, constantly sacrificing, delaying gratification for tomorrow.
David Whyte’s idea of taking a step back, paying attention to the things that energise me.
Sounds like such a foreign concept.
But, I’ll try to embrace it.
Paul, thanks again for putting out such insightful content.
