🥩 What I got to talk to coaches about -
|
💀 What I'm keeping in mind -
- With the release of song #4, Memento Mori, 1/3 of my 2020 Challenge is complete. I wrote this song "backwards" writing the lyrics last. But turns out the words are my favorite part. With my songwriting I like to use polysemy. Specific
words that can be interpreted in a new / broad / different way. That's why I appreciated Daniel's comment so much:

🛠 What valuable tools I'm using -
- To me, Memento Mori, is the most powerful of the "fear setting" tools.
"Fear-setting has produced my biggest business and personal successes, as well as repeatedly helped me to avoid catastrophic mistakes."

🎨 What is moving indoors / outdoors -
- Like so many others, the famous outdoor artist, Banksy, has had to adapt and bring his working life indoors.
"My wife hates it when I work from home."
- His wife isn't the only one.
My guess is that if this was Day 7 — he found out.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way."

🌎 What started 50 years ago -
- In April of 1970, 50 years ago, Earth Day was started to acknowledge our environment, and our responsibilities and roles within it. Yet, 5 decades later environmental challenges remain. Population has more than doubled and with the modernization of the world and subsequent increased demand on the world's resources, sustainable solutions are paramount in the next 5 decades. Next year I'm going to be talking much about this from the POV of food sustainability,
which I've been researching for the last several years. But this week I wanted share these 31 images of our world, each a glimpse into our environment and our symbiotic relationship.

🎂 What started 33 years ago -
- In April of 1987, 33 years ago, I had the great fortune of being born. Funny how this month I've been thinking about birth and death, but I'm also really enjoying the time in between. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and thanks for reading the newsletter and letting me be a small part of your life (the best birthday gift I could ask for) 🙏

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
