Why wait any longer? What I'm learning about 🧠101 bits of wisdom from the legendary Kevin Kelly. Here are 8 of my favorites:
P.S. You can read all 101 here. What I'm thinking about 💭Making yourself laugh is the only way to survive being human. The older I get, the more I realize the absurdity of being human. We are monkeys piloting meat-covered skeletons that decay over time. But instead of being content to simply enjoy driving our meat suits around, we feel a deep need to do something meaningful with our lives. At least I do, and if you're reading this newsletter I bet you do to. Our brains are supercomputers capable of unbelievable feats. Yet sometimes we act like drunken toddlers, completely incapable of sticking to our well-reasoned plans. I'm looking at everyone who has resolved to have "just one bite of dessert" and then finds themselves double-fisting chocolate soufflés after getting boozy brunch with the besties. No judgment Reader, I've been there too. I empathize with the nihilist who sees this absurdity and loses hope. But today I'm coming to you LIVE with an antidote to this absurdity: You've got to find ways to make yourself laugh. The best part is that you don't even need to be funny. You can make stupid little dad jokes that only you find humorous. That's what I've been doing in this newsletter for the past 4 years and it's greatly improved my life. It's the little things that make life worth living. This section was inspired by a note my personal trainer left on the whiteboard at the gym this morning. He wrote out a workout for another client who was coming in later. It was a legs-only workout but he wrote a note at the top that said: IMPORTANT! Weight-lifting gloves are mandatory for this workout!! 😂😂😂 The two best things about this are:
This week, do things that will make you laugh and smile. It doesn't matter if anyone else gets your humor. All that matters is that you laugh and take life a little less seriously. P.S. If you need tips on how to do this, click here. Quote of the week 📜"Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive." - Elbert Hubbard What I'm creating 🎨🎬🎤In-person video episodes of The Dare to Dream Podcast. The time has finally come for my mustache and Vinny's illustrious words to step onto the big stage of YouTube. Sure, we've been posting our webcam recordings on our channel for a few months now. But I just pulled the trigger on camera equipment to start recording high-quality video episodes with guests who do in-person episodes. The first in-person video episode will go live next week and I'll link it in the next newsletter. Click here to subscribe so you don't miss it!
