I always love this quote.

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

i went from being very into self-improvement stuff, then to thinking it was all corny slop for a few years, and now i'm back into it but through the lens of self-study. i see it now as just trying to get better at the meta-game of living, which is an infinite game

Self-study is powerful. 

Capturing data in the 3rd person *as you go* through life. 

Jim Collins had a cool Bug Book practice for, “observing himself with dispassionate objectivity” like a bug in a science experiment. 

@six, do you have an equivalent of a bug book?

How would you describe your note taking practice? Do you refer back to them often?

"[Journaling] is a slower, more subtle form of gratification [than …] the dopamine-driven cycle of social media sharing"
 
Do you have a practice of processing your thoughts and experiences in a personal space before sharing with the world? 

Good read and practice to consider from @daojoan.eth

One foot in front on the other, keep going

this seems like a good hack

peak creativity often comes from large, unstructured blocks of free time

reading, writing, having conversations, building something, walking, exploring fc, etc

it looks unproductive at the time, but i personally find it leads to the most meaningful breakthroughs that we couldn't have anticipated 🌱

These blocks of time aren't common practice in our always busy and over-scheduled American culture. Do you find ways to incorporate enough of these unstructured blocks of time into your days, weeks or your year? 

If so, how? If not, why?

Authentically wrestling to understand truth, beauty, and goodness more deeply is a noble and worthwhile endeavor. 

How can your work, no matter the field be more beautiful?

You may have to try hard to build this practice at first, but eventually it becomes effortless as you experience the inherent enjoyment in doing something well. A quiet satisfaction offered freely by the task itself.

I am just flowing with tears of joy for a friend of mine

He has had a very hard life, family are addicts and wife was awful and they are now divorced 

Found out that he has a half sister who is wonderful, has a big happy family and wants to make him part of their life

He deserves it so much, purely wonderful news

Similar to how VCs win as their portfolio companies win, we can yield even more satisfying rewards with people. 

When we invest ourselves into meaningful relationship with someone as a friend, mentor, husband, father or brother their wins become our wins. 

Beautiful win, @mcbain

on a long enough time horizon, and with enough interactions, people reveal their true selves whether they intend to or not

How is your read of a person on first interaction? 

Mine is decent, my wife is scary good. She picks up on every single subtle thing a person does and says. My eyes have been opened so much from her. 

Better to find out sooner rather than later who a person really is.
