  1. Key lessons I learned in the last ~year: 💡
    - Give to causes/uses that (can) last long.
    - Giving that lasts can also give you back a lot of satisfaction.

    Wish I'd learned that sooner. 😳

  11. "It’s harder than they tell you, and more rewarding than you imagine.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

    --
    Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
    --

    Most people want the future to be a smooth, linear progression; their career to follow the same path. And in that context, they want any business or career pivot to feel like a graceful turn on a dance floor.

    That will never be the case.

    But in my own voyage through several decades of being self-employed - a member of the global freelander economy -I’ve learned that it can often feel like a grueling, uphill climb in a windstorm. Running a business, reinventing your identity, and staying ahead of the curve is significantly harder than the books and the "gurus" ever tell you.

    But here is the secret: The struggle is what makes you succeed.

    If the path to the future were easy, everyone would be there already. The "difficulty" is actually a protective barrier that weeds out those who aren't fully committed. Throughout my career, the moments that felt the most difficult - the technical failures, the market shifts that wiped out old revenue streams, the long nights in the "lab" (Lesson **#16**) learning new things, were exactly the moments that were building the most value.

    After all, hardship is where your expertise is forged.

    When you realize that the struggle and difficulty are a mandatory part of the process, you stop trying to avoid it and start trying to master it. There's no doubt that carving out your own path and then pivoting when you need to is way harder than they tell you. It will exhaust you, challenge your certainty, and occasionally make you wonder why you didn't just take a "safe" job.

    But the rewards along the way? Incomparable. Overwhelming. Mind-bogglingly satisfying! The freedom of the "Infinite Pivot"?
    It’s worth more than you can imagine!

  16. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    In the life of the artist there need be no hour without its pleasure. I take the author, with whose career I am best acquainted; and it is true he works in a rebellious material, and that the act of writing is cramped and trying both to the eyes and the temper; but remark him in his study, when matter crowds upon him and words are not wanting — in what a continual series of small successes time flows by; with what a sense of power as of one moving mountains, he marshals his petty characters; with what pleasures, both of the ear and eye, he sees his airy structure growing on the page; and how he labours in a craft to which the whole material of his life is tributary, and which opens a door to all his tastes, his loves, his hatreds, and his convictions, so that what he writes is only what he longed to utter. He may have enjoyed many things in this big, tragic playground of the world; but what shall he have enjoyed more fully than a morning of successful work? Suppose it ill paid: the wonder is it should be paid at all. Other men pay, and pay dearly, for pleasures less desirable.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman Who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

  18. A quotation from Horace

    Let the man who has acquired Enough not ask for MORE.
    A house and acreage, a pile of bronze and gold coins,
    Have never been able to lower the sick man’s fever
    Or drive out his worries. The proprietor must be well
    If he plans to enjoy the good things he’s gathered together.
     
    [Quod satis est cui contingit, nihil amplius optet.
    Non domus et fundus, non aeris acervus et auri
    Aegroto doniini deduxit corpore febres,
    on animo curas; valeat possessor oportet,
    Si conpertatis rebus bene cogitat uti.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 “To Lollius,” l. 46ff (1.2.46-50) (14 BC) [tr. Palmer Bovie (1959)]

  20. #Advice for #Life
    Always have 3 #projects in life
    1. Possible
    2. Impossible
    3. I don't care

    The 1st one is to #earn #livelihood, 2nd for #personal #growth and the last for personal #satisfaction.
    It doesn't matter how much you do each of these. But it does matter that you sustain these. For in your mind, they will occupy concrete space and that will give you the desired purpose to #survive #happily
    P.S. the term project is not limited, it's anything that requires you to focus and has a goal
