When You See Yourself in Your Children
Late identification changes the way you see your children. There are moments where you look at your child and something in their experience becomes recognisable from the inside. Not because you're projecting. Because you actually know what it's like to be in that particular internal state. That recognition changes everything.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/08/25/when-you-see-yourself-in-your-children/

What You Want to Give Them That You Didn’t Have
There's a particular difficulty in trying to give your children something you had to build for yourself. When you give something that was given to you, you have a template. When you try to give something you didn't receive, you're building the offering from the absence. And the absence is not the same as the thing.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/08/21/what-you-want-to-give-them-that-you-didnt-have/

Saying the Hard Thing to the People Who Know You Best
You can say the honest thing to a colleague more easily than to the person you share a life with. Not because it matters less. Because it matters so much that the risk of getting it wrong feels significantly higher. The closest relationships are the hardest place to use what you've learnt. -
The Version of You That Comes Home
Every working day produces two versions of you. The version that goes out, calibrated and managed. The version that comes back, which is whatever is left after the day has done what it does. Your partner and children don't live with the first version. They live with this one.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/08/14/the-version-of-you-that-comes-home/

The Closest Relationships Are Where the Work Shows
The internal work was never just about you. You exist in relationship. The version of you that shows up for the people closest to you is the fullest test of what the work has actually produced. Not the journal entry. Not the self-knowledge. The version of you that comes through the door.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/08/07/the-closest-relationships-are-where-the-work-shows/

A quotation from Baltasar Gracian
The way to quiet the turbulence of a mob is to withdraw your hand, and let it quiet itself; to concede today, may be the best way to succeed tomorrow.
[Sea modo de sosegar vulgares torbellinos el alzar mano y dejar sosegar; ceder al tiempo ahora será vencer después.]Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher

The last quality, perseverance, I particularly respect: it is the very hinge of all virtues. — On looking over the world, the cause of nine parts in ten of the lamentable failures which occur in men’s undertakings & darken and degrade so much of their history, lies not in the want of talents or the will to use them, but in the vacillating and desultory mode of using them — in flying from object to object, in starting away at each little disgust, and thus applying the force which might conquer any one difficulty to a series of difficulties so large that no human force can conquer them.
The smallest brook on earth, by continual running, has hollowed out for itself a considerable valley to flow in: the wildest tempest, by its occasional raging, over-turns a few cottages, uproots a few trees, and leaves after a short space no mark behind it. Commend me therefore to the Dutch virtue of perseverance! Without it all the rest are little better than fairy gold, which glitters in your purse, but when taken to the market proves to be — slate or cinders.Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian

Post 1/6
🧵 What if the most infamous intelligence failure of the 20th century was actually its most brilliant Sting Operation? The history books say Jonathan Pollard was a traitor who sold US secrets. The tactical reality? He was a deep-cover cut-out who delivered a 47-year virus. Let’s talk about the Long Game. 👇

Fame is unpredictable. Leverage is built.
The artists who last focus on negotiating power, one step at a time.
Radio is one of those steps. When the foundation is right.

"Commitment to your most important goal will always be your greatest success." - Futurist Jim Carroll
I once wrote this phrase: "Real progress is often invisible, boring, and repetitive. Don't mistake the quiet for regression!"
In that context, sometimes your greatest small achievements come up against a bold realization. For me, today marks a unique milestone in a long-running personal project—3,500 days of consistent, quiet effort toward a goal that few people actually see. It's a significant step in a long journey, yet another link in a chain that grows stronger each day.
Progress and success always come from commitment to the cause. Wins are often not instant, dramatic, or bold - instead, they are quiet, barely noticeable, forgettable at moments - until suddenly, they collide with a marker of significant success.
Today is one of those days.
And with this comes an important realization about the work I do. I often tell clients that successful innovation doesn't always involve a big, dramatic breakthrough; it’s usually a messy, squiggly line of effort where the ultimate moment of success is eventually reached. In the same way, personal success on a big goal is often about the small steps, not the big leaps. Managing any major life goal isn't just about reaching the finish line; it’s about the mindset pivot you maintain along the way.
I've often said that you are the total of all your highs and each of your lows, and you must own the quiet, repetitive, low parts of the process for the highs to mean anything at all.
As I look toward my next milestone (like my upcoming tee time at St. Andrews!) I’m reminded that success is about patience.
It’s about trading the immediate dopamine of a "quick win" for the long-term guarantee of a life well-lived.
3,500.
Pretty fucking awesome!

It occurs to me that Trump's most enduring effect on the United States will be having those of us that survive him wearing sackcloth and sitting in ashes before the rest of the world long after he's dead.
I have to give it to him, that's some next-level revenge.

Most artists don’t need more ideas.
They need fewer — and clearer ones.Momentum starts when you focus on what actually matters and cut the rest.

I don’t manufacture talent.
I amplify it.If the signal is real, the work is about clarity, structure, and momentum — not shortcuts or hype.

Sunday night.
The noise merchants are still shouting, the hype ships still circling, selling storms in bottles.
Out here? Just steel, code, and a light that doesn’t blink when the tide turns.
No algorithms begging for attention. No landlords of your thoughts.
Just a keeper, a quiet server room, and the long game.
Lights on. Let them find us when they’re done drifting.#LighthouseLore #Fediverse #SelfHosting #DigitalIndependence #LongGame

A similarity between the system on Satellite Five in the episode "Long Game" and the Controller in "Bad Wolf":
They both refer to the Doctor, Rose and Lynda (with a Y) as "He is no one", "She is no one", "They are no one".

Feeling unfulfilled or stuck at work? 3 ways to help you get unstuck via Ideas.Ted.Com [Shared]
Today, so many of us are wishing to safeguard ourselves — and our careers — against uncertainty. But how do we do this in a world where the waves of change keep coming and it can take all our energy just to stay afloat?
By thinking long term, says Dorie Clark, consultant and keynote speaker. “Long-term thinking protects us during downturns (of all kinds), because it keeps us moving toward our most important goals … It’s the surest path to meaningful and lasting success in a world that so often prioritizes what’s easy, quick, and ultimately shallow,” writes Clark in her new book The Long Game.
