i think too many of us still see exponential as parabolic.
i think many of us get to that point of inflection, and it's hard getting there, no doubt, and we think, even though parabolic is great, it's not linear, right, and that, well dang, we just can't keep up this pace.
i think if more of us could see what it's like past that point of inflection, we would quit less.
there are so many amazing people, dreamers, et al, quitting, right when they've ended the hardest part of the journey.
i can't wait till more believe this.. get it.
such an unleashing.
i can't wait till stress in people is overcome by peace in people.
a lot of that has to do with the feeling of having to prove ourselves.
i think i've spent 40 years feeling out of sink. feeling dumb. well maybe i was just dumb at being other people. maybe i was just not good at following the plans others laid out for me.
if you feel like you don't have to prove yourself. well - that's huge. competition is out the door.
and you fall in love with those countless others, and their dreams. and you see the connectedness of it all. and you quit quitting, and you quit wasting time playing defense, and having pity parties, and ... whatever it is that you do when you don't feel like you get to be you.
the web is letting us communicate with each other in ways we haven't been able to before. it's letting us get closer at seeing each other's hearts.
that's huge.
George Barnard Shaw is happy as a lark. because people are starting to realize that communication has no definition, no end, it's perpetually creating, it's vulnerable in each new context, ...
and that. we. is the point of inflection.
it's a volcanic hotbed.
we get to choose.
will we grant ourselves spaces of permission to be us. will we spend out energies/moneys/etc on restorative niches. will we embrace the mindset, that we don't have to prove anything. well, because mostly, we can't.
if so,.. game on. and up. rampant speed. mach speed.
