Amazing what happens when you manage to meditate…really meditate for more than half an hour.
So I got this “epiphany” and…well. A few years ago I would have jumped and start the action without thinking it twice.
Now I will acid test what ever comes to my head.
I guess even in esoteric revelations we grow up wiser and less prone to react. Hopefully I will be able to pass it through first principle thinking.
Will let you know about this.
“What is your take on business books? -Give them all to your competitors”.
A tweeter exchange between somebody and Naval.
Naval is not so kind when it comes to “business skills” and how to learn business from authors, influencers and even, yes, business schools.
Coming from a guy that reads and reads a lot, my guess is he has found little, no value or no practical application for all the theories, advise and tools depicted in all the books he has read.
For me, till I saw his opinion (and a radical one for that matter), I was an avid business books reader. I’m thinking I will not change this on a short term, but for sure I will see them in a whole new perspective, more skeptic, more critic, more scientific. Who knows, maybe I will stop reading business books altogether in the future.
BTW I have an MBA…Lol.
When people like Elon Musk or Jack Ma take action before catastrophes such as the covid-19 crisis, and go help thousands, if not millions of people in need, I have moments of awe and inspiration.
Not only they restore my faith in humanity, but they renew my will and confirm my goals to become one of this new kind of serial billionaire entrepreneur.
Old political systems are harming us and the planet. They are even harming themselves. We need new ways of organizing ourselves, and more often than not, these guys keep advancing in solving yhe biggest humanity’s challenges.
Thanks for that, and for all the hope and inspiration.
The world out there is so much bigger than the world your mind has created.
Your day to day world, your spaces, people and activities are just a micro subset of the spaces, people and resources out there.
Think that the next time you feel overwhelmed by dead end situations.
When normal isn’t good enough, a shift in our lives so drastic as the one we are living today in this covid-19 crisis, could be seen as an enormous opportunity for a personal evolution.
If the old normal, before the social and physical distancing, was a life not so amazing for you. If it was a life increasingly divergent from your goals or fulfillment, then the mandatory change is (could be) refreshing. It becomes an open window to design a new routine, new habits and a new normal more aligned to your dreams.
Now, you don’t have to try incremental changes, because in the old normal that was all you could afford. Now you can change overnight, you are doing it anyway.
The thing is, instead of going back to the old normal when the crisis is over, you will become a new you in the course of the next 4 weeks, you will put yourself in a position where going back to business as usual is no longer possible, where the only route is onward, ahead to the future your new self has designed.
Today is a good day.
A good day to begin anything. At least anything within yourself and/or within your house.
Today I will make a shift in the blog. As you may have figured it out by now, I will start posting in English.
As the English language is not my mother tongue, I apologize in advance for any misspelling.
It is also a committment for me to show up, to be more present here, with you guys.
More thinking, more writing, more action, more accomplished.
Let’s make it so.
