Notes from Aug 15 2020

If you are not indispensable (yet) its because you have made that choice. My goal is to help you see that the choice is yours. 

School exists for a reason, but that reason might not be what you think it is. 

The linchpin is an individual who can walk into chaos and create order, some who can invent, connectm create and make things happen. 

To become indispensable involves doing difficult work. Linchpins are geniuses, artist and gives of gifts. 

The hard work isnt lifing or shoving or sharpening. The hard work is being brace enough to make a difference. 

Deep within your brain lies the amygdala, the lizard brain. It sets out to sabotage anything that feels threatening, risky or generous. Until you name recognize and deal with the resistance you will stay frustrated.

Art is a gift. The culture of gifts has a long history on this planet, and understanding how it brings people together is a critical step in becoming indispensable. 

Indispensable linchpins are note waiting for instructions but instead figuring out what to do next. 

Your personality and attitude are more important than the actual work product you create because indispensable work is work that is connected to others. 

There are no guarantees that the marketplace (commerce) will embrace your ideas (art). And when the connection isnt made, blind persistence isnt always the best approach.

This new dream isnt about obedience, its about vision and engagement.

 i used to watch Ted talks all the time,  im not sure what happened to me. i used to think that i could just be enlightened all by myself then that got boring. for some reason i wanted ppl to know how smart i was or i was just using that as an excuse to cover up how lonely i was or how much I judged ppl around me for not knowing the things I know. Im not sure I dont know..

I think its so cool that for $9 you can buy a url and set up a free website its sad that after you die these things just disappear cause you couldnt afford to pay for them any more. I guess you gift in the afterlife is that well if you made something good ppl will fight to keep it and take quotes and misquotes about it and share. 

i dunno, i also dont know why I double space when i get to a new paragraph maybe its anxiety cause then I always go back and fix it. im starting to think I was made to be a typer cause I think faster than I can put words to paper and the stuff I write on paper never makes sense to me when im done writing it. they call it free writing. I think thats what im doing now but im storing it on the net. interesting. 

I think we have to leave our mark. dont you i mean even if you dont have kids you are likely to have a kid that looks up to you isnt that worth something. however since ppl are gonna see the mark you are leaving are you even telling the truth? its alot to think about. well im thinking about it. 

im thinking i dont want to cut my hair but im also thinking I dont want my hair style to be a burden. why do we struggle with such foolishness why do I even bother. I dunno time will tell I will figure it out. In the mean time. I will try to be consistent with populating the internet with my nonsense. 

And I'm assuming there are those of us that think she Overreacted

How the Pandemic Defeated America. (The Atlantic)

How did it come to this? A virus a thousand times smaller than a dust mote has humbled and humiliated the planet’s most powerful nation. America has failed to protect its people, leaving them with illness and financial ruin. It has lost its status as a global leader. It has careened between inaction and ineptitude. The breadth and magnitude of its errors are difficult, in the moment, to truly fathom.
