Did you buy that coffee mug in Wisconsin? My parents used to have a very similar mug they bought at their friends' pottery shop in Cedarburg, WI. (Oh. And I love that I can edit my comments. Great move, there.)
As for the goals, I am so with you. I have changed tact many times throughout my life, so not judging others is like a mantra for me.
This is great, Tynan. Love what you've done with the RV! lol...
This is so Tao. I totally loved it, as usual.
Have you read The Four Hour Chef? In it he has a one page poster of the 1900 or so most popular Japanese characters.
I like this. I may have to re-evaluate my new year goals based on some of these ideas. I have a hard time limiting myself to just a few or ONE idea, but I do understand that this prevents me from accomplishing things as well.
Yes. This is perfect timing as I am working out today what my focus will be for 2013. Not all at once, but in a big picture/general sort of way. I learned many years ago not to compare myself to others. I excelled quite a bit more once I figured that one out. People are well-intentioned, but so frequently wrong. I think that it is so important to remember to reverse things when you are wanting others to behave in a certain way. For example, no one walks in my shoes so they don't know what is right for me. I know they mean well, but they just don't know. I can reverse this in my relationships with others as I realize that I can't really know what is best for them either. This becomes especially challenging with our children and friends that are going down a similar path to our own that gave us some tough lessons.
I like that you also gave some room for people to listen anyways, though. Even though advice is often-times not appropriate for us, it is still good to listen and pay attention to how our bodies respond to the advice. If the reaction is strong, there could be some lessons there for us.
There always seems to be a lot of bullshit flying around. It seems self-generating. Thanks again for some great words to munch on.
Hi Tynan,
I got out of my car this morning to hop on a plane and realized I had forgotten my Chinese language books. Still curious about which Chinese podcast you are talking about.
I can totally relate to the consistency thing. You just have to keep getting back on that horse.
Love that. I am in that mode today too. Synchronized. Love your thoughts, Tynan. Read a bunch of your MaxDiet stuff yesterday and it got my psyched. Just started hot yoga and am loving this whole productive, staying with my body, sweaty self love gig. It's great. Still haven't given up meat yet but definitely an interesting read.
I love this. I get up before the crack of dawn and am always working on stuff. I also believe that we have a lot to accomplish in this lifetime so let's not hang about. Let's get stuff done! Another great post, Tynan.
