No usual update this week, we are off the grid enjoying the country side, family time, contemplating life, unwinding, watching some trashy first date program on normal TV.
Some Random Thoughts
Here are some random thoughts that I have been thinking about.
- We are a bunch of story telling monkeys. We have become the dominate species on this planet because we can tell stories and have others believe in them. This has allowed us to cooperate together in large groups. Examples of stories we tell each other are religion, national identity, the companies we work for – it don’t exist and are just stories we have told each other. Laws are just stories we collectively believe in. Money and what is valuable is also a story that we tell each other. Watch the stories that are being told about COVID, about money and finance. At the end of the day, we are all just a bunch of monkeys on a spinning rock.
- Being present in the present moment is something that’s constantly worked on.
- Being in a different environment from the usual day to day helps the kids develop faster.
- You want to develop skills that can be easily transferred between jobs, between industry. Communicating, getting stuff done, learning new things, coming up with strategies to deal with things, co-ordinating people, learning new things.
- Tired of your job? Mum’s advice has been just grit your teeth and do the best work that you have ever done. But I will add to that advice, make sure you are actively looking so that you have options. That way when you do leave no one expects it. It comes as a complete surprise. You leave at the top of your game.
