“What weapon will slay the dragon? Whatever weapon is in my hands.”
A few weeks ago, we started keeping an Insight Log inside The Path:
A special section where our members share short, quick-hitting insights, quotes, and ideas as they come to mind throughout the day.
It is absolutely popping off.
Here’s a peek at a few of my favorite insights from the past week:
The Real Value of Small Talk
shared by Adan Maldonado
“Small talk is basically a short ritual that allows your nervous system to regulate in the presence of another human before you can begin to open up.”
The Ultimate Problem-Solving Frame
shared by me
“None of this is a problem, and solutions are abundant.”
The ultimate functional-and-accurate problem-solving frame; applies to damn near everything.
Let it permeate your mind until you feel it in your energy.
Simon’s Insights
shared by Simon Bitan
“What weapon will slay the dragon? Whatever weapon is in my hands.”
“A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes
“Perhaps happiness is separate from wanting and not wanting.”
Feeding Your Awareness
shared by Callum Suttie
“The more you feed into your awareness the less it can focus on anything; the less you feed into your awareness the sharper and more clear it becomes.”
The Shrinking Brain
shared by me, via. Chris Williamson
“The human brain, after growing for millions of years, has begun shrinking over the last ten thousand years.
Such shrinkage is consistent with increased cultural innovation, which allows more people to survive even if they’re not particularly bright.
They can get away with not coming up with the best answers but simply copying what most other people are doing.” – Rob Henderson & Michael Muthukrishna
There are many more, of course, inside The Path — these are just a few that resonated for me this past week.
I hope you enjoy, and benefit.
